Carrot ‘Autumn King’


A deep-orange devil who knows exactly how to work his way down deep and come up looking that good. Long, firm, and shamelessly well-formed, he swells beneath the surface with slow, steady confidence, building sweetness you can’t rush. There’s something about him — cool, composed, and just a little bit wicked — that makes you want to dig him up and see how satisfying he really is.

Sowing & Growing
Slide him into loose, welcoming soil from May to July and give him space — about 10 cm apart — so he can stretch out properly. He doesn’t do cramped. With room to grow, he lengthens, straightens, and fills out in all the right ways. Keep him gently moist — he responds best to steady, attentive care — and give him at least six hours of sun so he can build that bold, confident form you’re after.

Care & Conditions
He prefers things on the cooler side — a slow tease suits him better than a rushed finish. Treat him right and he’ll grow straight, smooth, and proudly structured. Skip fresh manure — he likes things clean and focused — and keep pests off him so nothing interferes with his perfect development. A balanced touch is all he needs to stay on top form.

Harvesting
By September, he’s ready — long, firm, and packed with rich, sweet intensity. And just when you think he’s peaked, a touch of frost makes him even better, deepening his flavour into something far more indulgent. Pull him gently, take your time… he’s worth it. Stored cool and dark, he stays sweet, crisp, and ready whenever the mood strikes.

Bold, dependable, and just a little bit naughty, your Autumn King keeps things interesting long after the season ends… and never quite leaves you satisfied with just one.
