How to grow Carrot 'Hercules'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Hercules is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Hercules needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Hercules from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

Transplanting Hercules

Hercules is very hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
