How to Germinate Carrot Scarlet Nantes

How to Germinate Carrot Scarlet Nantes (Daucus carota)

  • Sow Carrot Scarlet Nantes seeds directly outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked.
  • Prepare a fine, crumbly seedbed by loosening the soil to a depth of 12 inches, removing rocks and debris.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart for optimal growth.
  • Water gently to keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which typically takes 14-21 days.
  • Once seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin them to 2-3 inches apart to allow space for proper root development.
  • For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season.

Additional Tips

  • Carrot Scarlet Nantes thrives in full sun and well-draining, loose soil enriched with organic matter.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, which helps prevent cracking and supports uniform growth.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and reduce weed competition.
  • Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once the seedlings have been thinned.
  • Harvest when carrots are about 6-7 inches long for the best flavor and texture.
