Vibrantly Colorful Rainbow Carrots Exist, And You Can Buy the Seeds on Etsy
Forget purple galaxy flowers, bunny succulents, and bright pink cherry blossom trees—the newest trend in exciting and colorful gardening has officially arrived, and it's everything you've ever wanted and more. Rainbow carrots are the next must-have vibrant plant in your backyard garden, and you can buy the seeds now on Etsy. Not only are these multicolored veggies fun to look at, they're relatively easy to plant—and you can eat them. It's a win-win!
The different kinds of rainbow carrot seeds you'll be getting in your order are Red Core Chantenay, Scarlet Nantes, Kyoto Red, Snow White, Solar Yellow, Cosmic Purple, and Little Fingers. Their flashy colors range from dark reds to oranges and yellows, to even a shocking purple color. Your package will consist of 350 non-GMO heirloom seeds that were grown in the United States.
Once you get the seeds, you'll want to surface sow them onto rich compost and keep moist, the seller SmartSeedsEmporium says. Carrots grow best under cool conditions, so plant them in the spring or the fall, and they'll mature in around 70 days.
The Old Farmer's Almanac says that carrots need loose, light and airy soil—the trick they use is adding sand to the soil for optimal conditions. The veggies are best grown in full sunlight, but can also tolerate a moderate amount of shade. During germination, you'll want to frequently water the seeds—once they start to sprout up from the ground, you can start watering just once a week.
So what are you waiting for?! It's almost the perfect time to plant rainbow carrots—you better get on it!
