Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to 21 feet. |
|---|---|
| Row Spacing | 6" |
| Seed Depth | ¼" |
| Seed Spacing | 1" |
| Thinning | When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 3" |
| Germination | 10–25 days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended; root disturbance stunts growth. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 45°F, ideally 60°–85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 10 to 12 weeks before your average first fall frost date. In very warm climates, carrots are grown primarily in fall, winter, and spring. |
| Growing & Harvesting | For best flavor and texture, harvest carrots any time before, and until they reach their optimal size. Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks, longer in the fall. Late summer-sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost; however, harvest before soil freezes, which may destroy the crop. In USDA zone 5 or warmer, carrots can be left in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched; harvest as needed on days the ground is not frozen. |

- MeganRated 5 out of 5 stars9/3/26Carrot success!
Just harvested my first few! Sadly one broke off and the tip is still in the ground, but otherwise they came out beautifully. I am a second year gardener and first time carrot grower so I had low expectations. I may have had some beginner’s luck in sowing these at the right time, as these seeds got tons of rain in their first two weeks while germinating.

Beautiful but unfortunately didn’t grow a single purple carrot all season.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests5/15/26Hey Briana,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Carnival Blend Carrot Seeds! I really appreciate your honest feedback about the purple varieties. Blend results can definitely vary from season to season - sometimes certain colors are more dominant than others depending on growing conditions.
It's wonderful to hear that you still found them beautiful overall! The carnival blend can produce such a fun mix of colors, and it sounds like you had success with the other varieties in the mix.
Thank you for sharing your growing experience and for that fantastic 5-star rating! Keep on growing 🌻️
