Planting & Care

Sow Imperator carrot seeds directly in the garden in early spring, about 2-4 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to allow proper root development.

Carrots require regular watering and benefit from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as this can cause forked or hairy roots. Harvest when roots reach desired size, usually 70-80 days after sowing.
