Description

Carrot Autumn King 2 Seed - Irish Plants Direct

Daucus carota is a classic and hardy variety renowned for its large, cylindrical roots and rich, sweet flavour.

The Latin name Daucus refers to the genus of carrots, while carota specifically identifies this popular root vegetable. Known for its exceptional winter storage qualities, this variety is perfect for harvesting in late autumn and storing throughout the winter months. The vibrant orange roots have a smooth texture and are ideal for roasting, stews, and fresh salads.

Growing to a height of 30-45 cm, Carrot Autumn King 2 thrives in deep, well-drained soil, with a long growing season that allows the roots to reach their full size. Its robust nature makes it a great option for gardeners in colder regions, as it can withstand frosts and produce quality roots well into winter.

This reliable and productive variety is perfect for gardeners looking for a large, sweet-flavoured carrot that stores well and provides a plentiful harvest.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds directly outdoors from March to June in well-prepared, finely raked soil. Sow thinly in rows 1-2 cm deep, spacing rows 30 cm apart. Keep soil moist and thin seedlings to 5-10 cm apart once they have germinated to ensure adequate space for growth.

For an earlier start, sow seeds indoors in trays or modules, then transplant seedlings outdoors once they are large enough to handle.

Carrots benefit from regular watering, especially during dry spells, and can be fed with a balanced fertiliser to encourage healthy root development. Harvest when roots reach full size and are firm to the touch, but leave some in the ground for winter storage if needed.

Carrot Autumn King 2 combines excellent flavour, storage ability, and a reliable harvest, making it an essential choice for vegetable gardeners.
