Carrot 'Paris Market' Seeds

Yes. The roots are round and short, so a container 20 cm deep is plenty. Sow thinly across the surface of multipurpose compost, keep it evenly moist and thin to about 5 cm apart.

From March under cloches or in a greenhouse, then outdoors every few weeks from April to July for a run of harvests. Roots are ready in roughly 50 to 70 days, so a July sowing still crops in autumn.

Sow thinly so you need little thinning, as the scent of bruised foliage attracts the fly. Covering the row or pot with fine insect mesh from sowing is the most reliable protection. Raised containers also help, as the fly tends to stay low.

When placing your order, you can choose from three dispatch speeds to suit your needs: Economy (prepared and shipped within 4-5 days), Standard (3-5 days), or Express (dispatched the very next day). Please keep in mind that "dispatch" refers to the time it takes our team to prepare and pack your items before handing them over to the courier, not the total delivery time.
