Carrot Cape Market is a quick-maturing, open-pollinated variety that produces uniform, tapered roots with a bright orange color and crisp texture. It is well-suited for full sun conditions and performs best in loose, well-drained soil. The strong tops make it easy to harvest, and the roots are excellent for fresh consumption, juicing, or cooking. With a germination period of 10–14 days and maturity in 90–110 days, it’s a reliable choice for year-round planting in frost-free areas. Seeds are chemically treated with Thiram and hermetically sealed for seasonal freshness.
