Product Details
Unwins Carrot Sweet Candle Seeds produce a uniform and tapered carrot. A favourite for exhibiting, this robust variety is perfect for growing in UK conditions.
Sweet Candle give a lovely sweet flavour, ideal for eating in salads or raw, equally delicious roasted.
Harvest throughout summer and autumn, giving you carrots from June through to November.
Sow: Mar to Jun
Harvest: Jun to Nov
Sowing Outdoors
Sow thinly, 1 cm deep, in shallow, pre-watered drills in soil that hasn’t been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece.
Thinning
Thin seedlings to 5–8 cm apart. Avoid crushing the leaves, as their scent attracts carrot root fly.
Aftercare
Carrots thrive on light, stone-free, fertile soils. Use fleece to protect against low-flying carrot root fly. Roots store well if cleaned and packed in boxes of dry sand or compost.
