Mr Fothergills Carrot Sugarsnax 54 F1 - 500 Seeds

Carrot - Sugarsnax 54 F1

This is an imperator variety, with very high carotene content for bright orange roots suitable for growing as baby carrots or to full-size. It is one of the sweetest carrots available, usefully tolerant of alternaria and cercospora.

Sow outdoors thinly, from March to July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Allow 20cm 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 from June to October. Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.
