Planting & Care

Sow Lunar White Carrot seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Prepare a fine seedbed free of rocks and clods to allow straight root development. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which usually occurs in 10-20 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to give roots room to grow.

Maintain even moisture throughout the growing season to prevent cracking. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when roots reach desired size, typically 70-80 days after sowing. For best flavor, harvest before the ground freezes. Store roots in a cool, humid place or leave them in the ground with a thick mulch for winter harvesting.
