What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Imperator carrots do best in a deep, open, and well-cultivated garden soil.
Planting: Once the soil temperature rises above 7.5°C, sow seeds about 7-15 mm deep in rows spaced 45-60 cm apart. As the seed is quite small, mixing it with some sand when sowing can help with even distribution. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds at 5-day intervals over several weeks.
Care: Keep the seedbed evenly moist during the two-week germination period, but avoid soil crusting, as this will greatly reduce the number of seedlings that emerge. Thin the seedlings during the early stages of growth until they are 5 cm apart. Keep the plants evenly watered, weed-free, and avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers. Harvest any time after the carrot roots develop good colour.
