Description
Reviews

Visually, one of the most beautiful carrot varieties. The name ‘Rouge Sang’ means something like ‘blood-red’ and beautifully describes the interesting, two-coloured, old, French carrot variety. On their heads, the carrots have a blood-red, intense colouring with a smooth colour gradient towards the tip of the root. It shines in bright-orange like the inner pulp, as well.

The carrot variety has a pleasantly sweet flavour and is perfectly suitable for fresh consumption and as a vegetable.

Sowing depth: 1-2,5 cm
Ideal germination temperature: +3°C or more
Germination duration: Carrots need very long, 21-27 days on average. As a result, it’s recommended to mix the seeds either with radish seeds or with dill seeds. Both germinates clearly faster and, thereby, marks the row, so that the care of the sowing is facilitated. By harvesting the radish, which is ripe earlier, the rows are thinned automatically. The dill should also be removed when it has achieved a height of 25 cm.
Row spacing: 30-45 cm
Planting distance: 3-5 cm
Location: Sunny
Soil: Sandy-clayey, deep, loose and stone-free soil. This variety prospers very well in clayey soils.
Care: Carrots are moderate feeders and can’t stand fresh manure. Use ripe compost for fertilizing only. Carrots want to be kept moist during germination time and often need supplementary watering on sandy soils during the hot summer months. It’s absolutely necessary to weed in early life stages as the tender plants are ranked fast with weeds. For good results, the soil should be loosened regularly. Especially after strong rain when it tends to silt up.
Harvest: Mostly from May to July. There’s no clear sign for ripeness.
Family: Umbelliferas (Apiaceae)
