- Well-rounded flavor: Enjoy flavorful carrots fresh, roasted, or gently steamed.
- Uniform orange roots: Deep-orange 6 to 7-inch roots bring color and crunch to home harvests.

- Four packet sizes: Choose 40, 60, 100, or 200 seeds to fit your garden plan.
What Are Pelleted Seeds?
Pelleted seeds have a coating that creates a more uniform shape and improves visibility during sowing. Keep the seedbed evenly moist while the coating softens and seedlings emerge. Learn more about pelleted seeds.
Planting Tips for Success
- Time sowing locally: Direct sow in spring or late summer for fall harvests, adjusting to local weather and frost dates. Even heat-tolerant carrots benefit from suitable soil temperatures and steady moisture.
- Prepare loose soil: Remove stones and hard clumps and loosen the bed deeply enough for straight roots. Use deep containers if growing in pots.
- Sow shallowly: Plant approximately 1/4 inch deep in fine soil. Maintain consistent surface moisture while pellets soften and seedlings emerge.
- Thin carefully: Allow approximately 2 to 4 inches between plants. Packet size refers to seed quantity, not different spacing requirements.
- Provide sun and moisture: Choose a sunny site and water evenly without leaving the bed waterlogged.
- Feed moderately: Follow soil-test or fertilizer-label guidance. Avoid excessive nitrogen and fresh manure. Carrots do not require stakes or cages.
- Harvest gently: Begin checking around 75 days and loosen soil before lifting roots at your preferred size and tenderness.

Maple-Roasted Romance Carrots
Use harvested Romance carrots for this lightly glazed side dish. Ingredients are harvested vegetables, not seed-packet contents. Serves 4. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 25 to 35 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds harvested Romance carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Wash carrots under running water, trim, and peel if desired.
- Halve lengthwise, quartering thicker roots so pieces have similar thickness.
- Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Drizzle with maple syrup and toss carefully. Roast another 5 to 15 minutes, until fork-tender and lightly glazed. Watch closely to avoid burning the syrup.
- Finish with lemon juice and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving warm.
Recipe Tips and Storage
Check thin pieces early and allow thicker ones extra time. For a buttery finish, add a small pat of butter before serving. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F, and use within 3 to 4 days. This is a cooked side dish, not a tested canning recipe.
