Long roots, lovely flavour.

Imperator variety, with very high carotene content for bright orange roots suitable for growing as baby carrots or to full-size. One of the sweetest carrots available, usefully tolerant of alternaria and cercospora.

A Best Buy variety as recommended by the Gardening Press and Consumer Groups.

Sow & Grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Early sowings may benefit cloche protection.

Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established.

Harvest: June-October.

Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.

Hints & Tips:

Roots will grow long and slender at close spacing. The farther apart the roots are thinned, the shorter and thicker they will become.
