Fothergill's Carrot Burpees Short n Sweet Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Daucus carota, a premium and highly reliable selection within the Carrot genus.
• Root Profile: Produces short, broad, and blunt-ended roots that develop a rich orange colour throughout.
• Soil Versatility: Hard-wearing and adaptable, its unique short growth habit makes it perfect for heavy, clay, or poor stony soils where longer carrot varieties fail to develop properly.
• Container Friendly: An exceptional choice if you are gardening in smaller spaces, shallow raised beds, or patio troughs and pots.
• Flavour & Texture: Bursting with high natural sugars to deliver a remarkably sweet flavour and a crisp, satisfying crunch.
• Nutritional Value: An excellent homegrown source of essential vitamin A and health-boosting antioxidants, providing nutritious garden-to-table eating.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Sow seeds thinly directly into well-prepared soil or outdoor containers situated in a bright, open position in full sun.
• Successional Sowing: For a non-stop supply of fresh, sweet roots, sow a small number of seeds "little and often" every two to three weeks across the growing season.
• Pest Protection: Safeguard your developing crop from carrot fly by covering the rows or containers with a fine insect-mesh netting immediately after sowing.
