Kyoto Red Heirloom Carrot

‘Kyoto’ Red Carrot is a celebrated Japanese heirloom prized for its long, slender roots, vivid scarlet color, and refined flavor. This traditional Kintoki-type variety develops rich red color throughout the root, paired with a crisp texture, natural sweetness, and subtle earthy undertones. Uniform, productive, and visually striking, ‘Kyoto’ Red is a standout in both the garden and the kitchen.

Sow ‘Kyoto’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants 2 to 3 inches apart and grow in full sun. This variety performs best in loose, well-drained soil and is also well suited to containers.

Ready to harvest in about 75 days, begin checking the roots as they approach maturity and pull them once they reach your preferred size while they are still crisp and tender.

Sweet, colorful, and versatile, ‘Kyoto’ Red is excellent for fresh eating, salads, juicing, roasting, everyday cooking, and storage.
