What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow sweet, tender carrots with Scarlet Nantes Carrot Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This cherished heirloom is known for its exceptionally fine texture, juicy deep-orange flesh, and truly coreless roots—qualities that set it apart from many other carrot varieties. Scarlet Nantes produces uniform, cylindrical carrots that average about 7 inches long with strong 10–12 inch tops, making them easy to harvest and versatile for both fresh use and storage.

Scarlet Nantes carrots are quick to mature and hold beautifully when stored, offering gardeners a dependable, flavorful crop for immediate enjoyment or later use. They also make excellent baby carrots thanks to their sweetness and absence of a tough core.

Sweet, Coreless, and Consistent:

  • Deep orange, juicy flesh with excellent flavor
  • Cylindrical, coreless roots ideal for fresh eating or baby carrots
  • Strong tops for easy pulling and garden maintenance
  • Reliable texture suited for slicing, cooking, or snacking

Why Customers Love Scarlet Nantes Carrots:

  • Early to produce and consistent across the season
  • Stores remarkably well without losing sweetness
  • Perfect for gardeners who want smooth, fine-grained carrots
  • Heirloom, Non-GMO variety with trusted performance

How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly into loose, well-drained soil once the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep soil lightly moist until germination. Thin seedlings to 2–3 inches apart to allow full root development. Scarlet Nantes performs best in deep, loosened soil that allows roots to grow straight and uniform.
Provide full sun and even watering throughout the season. Avoid freshly added manure or high-nitrogen fertilizer, which can cause forking.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest when roots reach their full size and rich orange color, or earlier for tender baby carrots. Trim tops to one inch for storage. Scarlet Nantes’ fine texture and coreless structure make it ideal for fresh snacking, roasting, soups, and long-term storage in a cool, moist environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
