What kind of carrot is Imperator 58?
It is the classic long, slender, tapered carrot, deep orange and sweet, and the type most often seen in grocery stores.
What soil do Imperator carrots need?
Deep, loose, stone-free soil is essential for these long roots, so a raised bed or well-worked ground gives the best, straightest carrots.
When and how do I plant carrot seeds?
Sow directly, about a quarter inch deep in full sun during cool weather; carrots do not transplant. Keep the surface moist, as they germinate over about 14 to 21 days.
How far apart should I thin them?
Thin the seedlings to about 2 to 3 inches apart so the long roots have room to develop fully.
How long until Imperator carrots are ready?
Usually around 68 to 75 days. Loosen the soil before pulling so the long roots lift out whole.
How do I keep carrots sweet and crack-free?
Water steadily and evenly so the roots grow at a consistent pace, and harvest before they get overly large.
Q: “What is your shelf life? What conditions to store?”
You can easily store it for 3 years.
