Description
Reviews

The white carrot 'Blanche a Collet Vert' (Daucus carota) is an old animal feed and edible heirloom carrot that has already been mentioned around 1870.

It grows about 40 cm long and rather slender roots and tends to get slightly green heads. Thus the white carrot is very similar to the wild carrot in terms of appearance, as the wild species indeed also has white roots.

The taste of 'Blanche a Collet Vert' is less sweet and very aromatic. Very good storage carrot and ideal for carrot stews

Sowing depth: 1-2.5cm
Ideal germination temperature: From +3°C
Germination duration: Carrots take very long, 21-27 days on average. That's why it's recommended to mix the seeds with either radish seeds or with dill seeds. Both germinates clearly faster and, thereby, marks the row so that the care of the seeds is made easier. By harvesting the radish, which is ripe earlier, the rows are automatically pruned. The dill should also be harvested when it has reached a height of approx. 25cm.
Row spacing: 30-45cm
Planting distance: 3-5cm
Location: Sunny
Soil: Sandy-loamy, deep, loose, and stone-free soil. The variety prospers very well in loamy soils.
Care: Carrots are moderate feeders and don't tolerate fresh dung. Only use ripe compost for fertilizing. Carrots like to be kept moist during the germination period and often need supplementary irrigation on sandy soils during the hot summer months. The clearing of weeds is crucial while the plant is young as the tender plantlets are overrun with weeds fast. For good results, the soil should be loosened regularly. Especially after strong rain when it tends to clog.
Harvest: Mostly from May to July. There's no clear sign of maturity.
Family: Umbellifers (Apiaceae)
