Harvest

Harvest

Unwins Carrot Purple Sun Seeds produce impressive carrots in a striking purple colour with delicious, sweet flavour.

These carrots have a high level of antioxidants and are rich in vitamins. They have good disease resistance and good resistance to carrot root fly.

  • Nantes variety with long smooth roots
  • Heavy cropper
  • Fast growing
Sowing Outdoors
Sow thinly 1cm deep in shallow pre-watered drills, in soil that hasn’t been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece.
Thinning
Thin to 5-8cm apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.
Advice
Carrots do best on light, stone-free, fertile soils. Use fleece to keep low flying carrot root fly from your crop. Roots store well if cleaned and packed in boxes of dry sand or compost.
