Versatility and long storage ability of this Imperator type makes this variety a good choice for growers and homesteaders alike. Neptune carrot seeds produce large, handsome, medium-orange roots grow 20-25cm (8-10") long, with outstanding flavour and crisp, crunchy texture.
The roots are very straight with a slight taper to a pointed tip. Tops are abundant for tying market bundles. Grow these carrots in deeply dug soil with light texture. These were a big hit in our trials, and performed well with carrot fertilizer, producing substantial, uniform roots.
