Dark Red Carrot Vegetable Seeds produce plants that bear carrots with a deep, rich purple color. The seeds themselves are small, slender, and typically sold in packets. To grow dark purple carrots from seeds, plant them in well-draining soil and provide them with full sun exposure and regular watering.
Highlights:
- Product Type: Bonsai
- Full-bloom Period: Summer
- Type: Landscape Plant
- Quantity: 500 pieces
- Soil requirements: Dark red carrot seeds prefer loose, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be free of rocks and debris to allow the roots to grow straight and long.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun, which means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Carrots need consistent moisture, especially during germination. Water the seeds lightly but frequently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once established, water deeply once a week.
- Planting season: The best time to plant dark red carrot seeds is in early spring or late summer. In cooler climates, you can also plant them in early fall.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 1 to 2 inches apart. Rows should be spaced about 12 to 18 inches apart.
- Germination time: Dark red carrot seeds typically germinate in 10 to 21 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture conditions.
- Maturity time: These carrots usually reach maturity in about 70 to 80 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest carrots is in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. This helps to maintain their crispness and sweetness.
- Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork to gently lift the carrots from the soil to avoid breaking them. After harvesting, remove the tops to prevent moisture loss and store the carrots in a cool, dark place. For long-term storage, keep them in a refrigerator or a root cellar.
