Dreer catalog; “This carrot represents a most desirable combination of choice eating qualities and splendid appearance. The roots grow 7-8” long. The Imperator Carrot has a broad shoulder and gradually tapers to a fine taproot. Due to their form, they are easy to harvest.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e300 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #408145;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/t\/58\/assets\/aas-icon-cmyk.jpg\" alt=\"Imperator Carrot (Heirloom 70 Days)\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/AAS_Icon_cmyk_50x50.jpg?v=1601044604\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 60-85\u003cb\u003eº\u003c\/b\u003eF.

Carrots planted for summer harvest will hold in the ground for a few weeks, but tend to split if they stay in the ground for too long. Late season carrots hold longer and become sweeter in the cooler weather.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTips:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Using a row cover helps to maintain moisture for germination. The Imperator Carrot prefers loose soil, free of rubble. Use the shorter varieties for heavy soils. Keep well weeded and cover any exposed carrot with soil or mulch to prevent greening. An excess of nitrogen in the soil causes the roots to become hairy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":440963563528,"sku":"7002","price":2.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/imperator-carrot-heirloom-70-days-vegetables-pinetree-garden-seeds-938.jpg?v=1763402249","url":"https:\/\/www.superseeds.mom\/products\/imperator-carrot-heirloom","provider":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
