Carrot Seeds - Rainbow Mix | 150 Seeds

How to Grow Carrot Seeds – Rainbow Mix:
Rainbow Mix carrots are a blend of colorful varieties (purple, red, yellow, white, orange), and they grow just like standard carrots. Direct sow outdoors because carrots form a taproot and hate transplanting. Plant in cool weather: early spring as soon as soil can be worked, or late summer/early fall for a sweeter fall crop. Pick a full-sun spot and prep the bed deep and loose—remove rocks and break up soil 20–30 cm (8–12 in) down so roots grow straight. Sow seeds shallow, about 3–6 mm (⅛–¼ in) deep in rows, cover lightly, and firm the soil. Keep the top layer consistently moist until germination, which can take 7–21 days. Once seedlings are 2–5 cm tall, thin to about 5–8 cm (2–3 in) apart; thinning is key for good-sized, well-shaped roots.

How to Care for Rainbow Mix Carrots:
Water evenly and deeply; steady moisture prevents woody texture and splitting, while soggy soil can cause rot. Mulch lightly after seedlings establish to hold moisture and stop shoulders from turning green. Feed gently—too much nitrogen makes leafy tops and skinny roots—so a small compost top-dress or low-nitrogen veggie fertilizer once mid-season is enough. Keep weeds down, especially early, because young carrots grow slowly and compete poorly. Harvest timing varies a bit within the mix, so start pulling when roots reach usable size and color (often around 70–90 days), and keep harvesting as they mature. Cooler finishing weather boosts sweetness and color intensity, so fall-grown Rainbow Mix usually tastes and looks the best.
