Product description

Purple Carrot "Blood Red" – A Hardy, Fast-Growing Variety

The "Blood Red" purple carrot is known for its rapid growth and rustic character. It features a stout, conical root with a vibrant purple skin and bright orange flesh. This variety is also well-suited for storage, making it an excellent choice for both immediate harvest and long-term preservation.

Growing Tips for Purple Carrot "Blood Red"
Sowing:
For early varieties, start sowing in February under cover (e.g., in a cold frame or tunnel).
For summer or late varieties, sow directly into the soil from May to July, spacing the rows 30 cm apart. Cover the seeds with about 1 cm of well-packed soil and keep it moist until the seedlings emerge.

Thinning:
Thin the plants to 5 cm when they have 3-4 leaves, and again two weeks later to 7-10 cm (depending on the variety).
Tip: To make thinning easier, mix the carrot seeds with sand before sowing to ensure an even spread.

Care:
Choose a well-drained, organic-rich soil for optimal growth. Carrots prefer light, sandy soils and plenty of sunshine.
Regularly trim the flower stems to encourage leaf growth.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and keep weeds under control.

Harvesting:
Harvest the "Blood Red" purple carrot about 5 to 6 months after sowing, before the first heavy frosts. After harvest, cut the leaves just above the root collar. Let the roots dry for a day, then store them unwashed in a cool, dry place like a cellar or storage room.

Tips and Tricks:
Purple, yellow, and white carrot varieties are less prone to carrot fly.
Soaking and/or chilling the seeds can help improve germination, though it's not essential.
