Plant Features

Tendersweet Carrot Plants produce some of the sweetest heirloom carrots on the market today. They are crisp, colorful, coreless and thin skinned. Carrots can be harvested at any state but are fully mature when the tops start dying back or carrots reach 7-10 inches in length. Carrots are perfect for eating fresh from the garden, store beautifully and work for freezing and canning.

Tender Carrots

The plants were healthy, I have a feeling I did something wrong because when they were harvested they all grew together. Gave a 5 rating because I'm sure it was my fault, Will try again next year.

Lovely!

The plants arrived in great shape! GrowJoy packs them all with such great care. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the plants adapt to their new homes and grow beautifully! I’m really looking forward to the spring plantings.
