Fothergill's Carrot Royal Chantenay 3 Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Daucus carota, a premium selection of the traditionally favored and robust Chantenay line.
• Root Profile: Produces short, broad-shouldered, and conical roots with a smooth skin and a rich orange color throughout.
• Soil Adaptability: Because of its short growth habit, this tough variety performs exceptionally well in shallow, stony, or heavy clay soils where long carrots struggle to grow straight.
• Container Friendly: Perfectly suited for smaller spaces, shallow raised beds, and patio containers or troughs.
• Flexible Harvesting: Fast-growing and versatile; pull them early to use whole as tender, succulent "baby" carrots, or leave them to mature into thick, heavy-cropping roots.
• Flavour & Texture: Celebrated for its outstanding sweetness and juicy texture, making it an excellent addition to stews, roasts, or fresh summer salads.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Sow seeds thinly directly into containers or well-prepared soil in an open, sunny position.
• Successional Sowing: For a continuous supply of fresh roots, sow a small number of seeds "little and often" every two to three weeks across the growing season.
• Pest Protection: Keep the young crops protected from carrot fly by covering the rows or pots with a fine insect-mesh netting immediately after sowing.
