Carrot Thumbelina Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perDaucus carota subsp. sativus
Thumbelina, also known as Paris Market, is a charming French heirloom Carrot producing distinctive round, bright orange roots up to approximately 5 cm across. Its compact, almost spherical shape makes it immediately recognisable and particularly useful where soil depth is limited.
The small roots have a sweet, crisp texture and excellent flavour and have long been prized for their presentation in the kitchen. Sought after by chefs and restaurateurs, they are beautiful roasted or glazed whole, steamed, pickled or served fresh when harvested young and tender.
Unlike long-rooted carrots, Thumbelina does not require deeply cultivated soil, making it an excellent choice for containers, raised beds and gardens with heavier or shallower soils. Loose, fertile, well-drained soil will still produce the smoothest and most evenly rounded roots.
Approximately 400 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Most of the year, with best results autumn to spring
Mild climates: Spring to autumn
Cold climates: Spring to early autumn, avoiding periods of heavy frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Carrots dislike transplanting. Keep the soil surface consistently moist until germination.
Thin seedlings to approximately 3–5 cm apart once established. Maintain even moisture throughout root development to encourage smooth, tender roots. This compact variety is particularly suitable for pots and containers at least 15–20 cm deep.
Harvest once the round roots reach up to approximately 5 cm across, or earlier for tender baby carrots.
Maturity: approximately 70 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
