Imperator Carrot Seeds

Name:  Carrot ‘Imperator’

Botanical Name:  Daucus carota sativus

Days to Maturity:  65-80

When to sow outside:   2 to 4 weeks before average last frost.  Successive sowings every 3 weeks until 60 days before first fall frost. In climates with lows above 25°F, grow all winter.

Harvesting:  Do not allow carrots to get larger than normal size (7″ – 10″). Peak harvest period lasts for 3 weeks. Late summer planted carrots are very sweet if harvested after first couple of light fall frosts, but before heavy frost. In climates where temperatures don’t fall below 20°F, with protection, carrots can be left in ground for storage, and harvested as needed.
