Originating in temperate regions, the Danvers 126 carrot is an old variety renowned for its hardiness and mild flavor. Thanks to its ability to thrive in clay, compact, or shallow soils , it has earned a prominent place in organic vegetable gardens where conditions are not always ideal.

In the garden, its distinctive conical shape and dense, deep orange flesh make it a reliable and generous root vegetable, prized as much for its consistency as for its culinary qualities. Easy to grow, it offers an abundant harvest where other varieties struggle to take root.

This carrot embodies a beautiful balance between hardiness and productivity , ideal for gardeners who wish to cultivate simply, meaningfully, while working with nature rather than against it.

Growing climate: Temperate climate
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
