General Information: Halifax Seed’s Atomic Red carrot is a striking, nutrient-rich variety with vibrant red roots due to high lycopene content. The colour intensifies when cooked, and roots grow long, smooth, and sweet. Performs best in loose, well-prepared soil and is excellent for both home gardens and market production.
