🚫 Why We Don’t Sell Carrot Seedlings
We do not offer carrot seedlings—and here’s why:
| Reason | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Taproot sensitivity | Carrots develop a single long taproot that is easily damaged during transplanting, leading to stunted or forked growth. |
| Healthier growth | Direct sowing ensures straighter, stronger roots and maximises yield and quality. |
| Natural preference | Carrots are naturally adapted to germinate and thrive in-place—moving them interrupts development. |
| Cost-effective | Growing from seed is more affordable and yields better results than buying seedlings. |
🌱 For best results, always direct sow carrot seeds into the ground.
📦 Seed Pack Details

🧬 Disease Resistance (IR)
| Code | Resistance Description |

⚕️ This variety shows Intermediate Resistance (IR) to common root and foliage diseases for more consistent harvests.
🌱 Sowing & Growing Guide
| Sowing Method | Depth | Row Spacing | Thin To | Harvest Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct sow only | 5–6mm | 30cm | 10cm apart | 12–16 weeks (location dependent) |
✔️ Do not transplant – sow straight into finely tilled, fertile soil.
💧 Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth.
🌞 Ideal Growing Conditions
| Light | Soil Type | Watering Needs |
|---|---|---|
| Full sun | Loose, well-drained, fertile | Consistent, not soggy |
📝 Pro Tip: Avoid soil with clumps or rocks to prevent forking. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
🧪 Seed Treatment & Safety Info
These seeds are treated with Thiram, a fungicide to help protect germinating seeds from soil-borne fungal pathogens.
| Handling Guidelines |
|---|
| ❌ Do not ingest or feed to animals |

📌 In compliance with Australian Quarantine & Biosecurity (AQIS) standards, certain imported seed varieties must be treated. Treated seeds may be dyed for easy identification.

✅ Key Benefits at a Glance
| 🌈 What Makes It Stand Out | 💪 Grower Advantages |
