How to Grow: Sow seeds directly outdoors in loose, well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed. Carrots prefer deeply loosened soil to accommodate their long roots, especially for Imperator types. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep soil consistently moist during germination. Thin seedlings to 2–3 inches apart for the best root development. Provide full sun and steady moisture throughout the growing season. Avoid compacted soil and excessive nitrogen, as these can lead to misshapen roots.
Harvest & Use: Harvest when roots are fully colored and reach their mature length. Pull gently by the tops or loosen with a garden fork. For storage, trim greens to one inch and keep roots refrigerated or in a cool, humid space. Imperator 58 maintains its sweet flavor and crisp texture when stored properly.
