Thompson & Morgan Carrot Redsun 200 Seeds Packet

Add a burst of deep burgundy-red colour and flavour to your meals with Thompson & Morgan Carrot Redsun 200 Seeds Packet, a maincrop variety that offers large roots packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, perfect for roasting, boiling or enjoying raw. You'll find these seeds thrive best in sunny, fertile, well-drained soil and are just as happy in containers as in your garden beds, making them a versatile choice for home growers. Each packet comes with approximately 200 seeds and clear growing instructions, so you can enjoy harvesting your own carrots from August to November. How to grow: Maincrop varieties should be sown outdoors from April to June. Direct sow carrot seed outdoors, in a weed free, sunny position in fertile, light, well-drained soil. Carrots dislike freshly manured soils so seed beds are best prepared in autumn, well in advance of spring sowings. Sow carrot seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½in) in drills 30cm (12") apart. Germination will take 10 to 20 days. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 5cm (2") apart. Where space is limited, growing carrots in containers will also produce a worthwhile crop.
