It suits smaller plots, raised beds and deep containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get 12 young Chantenay carrot plants (Daucus carota), supplied growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays, one plant to a cell. Each plant is healthy and ready to be planted out, giving you a head start on the growing season. The roots are short, stocky and conical, which makes this a good choice for shallow or stony soils. The foliage is bright green, feathery and finely divided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant carrots in full sun in loose, well-drained, stone-free soil, or in a deep container of good-quality compost. Avoid freshly manured ground, which makes roots fork. Thin the plants as they develop to avoid overcrowding, and water regularly and consistently, because irregular watering can make roots split. Harvest once the roots reach finger thickness for the sweetest flavour. Carrot fly is the main pest to watch for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs living plants, slight variation in size and appearance on arrival is natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chantenay Carrot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daucus carota subsp. sativus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEventually Reaches:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20-45cm tall and 10-25cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, bushy feathery foliage with short, stout, tapered roots about 10-15cm long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raised beds, containers, patio pots, allotments, kitchen gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green, feathery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, stone-free, loose soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e May to June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvest July to October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual vegetable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68017152655580,"sku":"COL-M6P-CAR-CHAX1","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_e6ef706d-92c1-4589-8743-4b9ffab98922.png?v=1793631830","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-m6p-car-chax1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
