Imperator 58 Carrot

Imperator 58 is an heirloom variety dating back to 1928 that produces 6 to 7-inch-long, deep orange carrots topped with healthy green foliage.  Pleasantly sweet, crisp carrots are thinner than some other varieties but are nicely textured with virtually no core.  We like to use them as snacking carrots since the thin, sweet, tender roots mimic the baby carrots one would find at a grocery store.  Originally bred to withstand shipping, Imperator 58 makes an excellent storage variety.  Ready to harvest approximately 75 days after sowing.  Each packet contains a minimum of 150 seeds.
