Carrot Thumbelina

Carrot Thumbelina is a 19th century French heirloom, featuring the traditional globe shape roots. Smooth, round, bite-size and instantly recognisable, this very flavoursome variety has a deep-crisp refreshing taste.

Ideal for growing shallow soils and is easily grown in containers or grow bags, it is also useful for heavy clay or shallow soils where other carrots fail.

For perfectly round carrots, keep the plants evenly irrigated, as dry conditions may cause the roots to stretch in search of moisture.

Fast to mature it produces small, tender-cored 2.5 cm  roots that are bright red-orange and have good carrot flavour.
