Parisian
Sweet as spun sugar with a crisp, tender snap, Parisian baby carrots form petite, evenly sized roots that glow in the garden with a bright, carrot-orange finish. Their fine texture stays pleasantly delicate—ideal for fresh garden enjoyment and quick roasting, where their natural sweetness deepens without turning woody. A cool-season favorite at about 60 days, Parisian delivers a tidy harvest of uniform little gems that look as good as they taste in vibrant salads and lively pickles.

Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 40°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Keep the seedbed evenly moist until germination (often 10–21 days), then thin early for smooth, round roots.
