Know before you buy
Yes, Adana carrots are excellent for baby harvests. You can pull them early while they are tender or allow them to grow to their full 6-inch maturity.
These carrots typically reach maturity in 58 days. Keep in mind that germination can take anywhere from 6 to 21 days depending on your soil conditions.
No, this variety is not recommended for containers. They perform best when planted directly in the ground with adequate row spacing of 9 to 15 inches.
Adana carrots thrive in full to partial sun with moderate watering. Ensure the soil is loose and well-draining to allow the roots to develop their uniform, straight shape.
Plant the seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch with a density of 4 seeds per inch. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to 1 to 3 inches apart to give each root enough room to develop.
Adana carrot seeds have a shelf life of approximately 3 years when stored properly. Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain their 75% minimum germination rate.
