How to Germinate Carrot Cosmic Purple

How to Germinate Carrot Cosmic Purple (Daucus carota)

  • Sow Carrot Cosmic Purple seeds directly outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked.
  • Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches to create a fine, crumbly seedbed free of rocks and debris.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  • Water gently to keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which usually takes 14-21 days.
  • Once seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin them to 1-2 inches apart to prevent overcrowding and allow proper root development.
  • Sow seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.

Additional Tips

  • Carrot Cosmic Purple prefers full sun and loose, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, which helps prevent cracking and encourages uniform growth.
  • Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and reduce weed competition.
  • Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer after thinning to support healthy root development.
  • Harvest when the carrots reach about 6-8 inches in length for the best flavor and texture.
