At Mr Fothergill’s, we have a large selection of carrot seeds available.

How to Plant Carrot Seeds
When you buy carrot seeds from Mr Fothergill's, you can sow them whenever you wish. Carrot seeds have a flexible growing period, although we recommend avoiding sowing them in the hottest or coldest months of the year.
As carrots are root vegetables, they are best sown directly into their final growing position to avoid damaging or deforming their taproot. When it comes to how deep to plant carrot seeds, aim for 5mm deep in rows 15-30cm apart (removing all stones too). Seeds should be thinned in the rows to 6-10cm apart depending on the variety. Be sure to avoid overfertilising too, as this can result in forked roots.
Perfect Companions for Carrot Seeds
Our selection of companion seeds features the perfect complementary vegetables and flowers to grow alongside your carrot seeds, including Radish seeds, which are faster to germinate than carrots and allow you to mark your carrot rows for easy weeding. Lettuce seeds can also be sown between rows to suppress weeds, and they’re sure to thrive under the shade of the carrot tops.
When it comes to flower seeds that pair well with carrot seeds, Marigold seeds attract beneficial insects that control unwanted pests. They’re also very easy to grow and work wonders for brightening up your vegetable patch.
