70-90 days. A traditional carrot from the Kyoto region of Japan. It is a really old carrot, with more wild characteristics than the newer orange carrots. It has a strong, delicious, sweet carrot flavor. The color is striking, with red and almost pink tones.

Kyoto Red Carrot
Amazing for Fall and Winter Gardening) This is a Japanese kintoki type (sweet red) carrot. These silky red carrots are grown near Kyoto, Japan, where they are traditionally eaten on the Japanese New Year, often carved into the shape of a plum blossom to represent fertility in the coming year. These carrots have an exceptional texture and sweet flavor. A perfect variety for late summer, fall or winter gardening, the bright red color becomes much darker when grown in the winter. (This variety may not do well if planted in the spring.) Long tapered roots grow to 10” to 12” inches long. rareseeds
