Autumn King
70-85 days — Synonyms are 'Flakkee', 'Flakkee Giant Processor', 'Vita Longa', and 'Long Flacoro.' Produces bright-orange Imperator-type roots that reach up to twelve inches long and two-and-one-half inches in diameter. Tops grow strong and upright, reaching fourteen to sixteen inches in height.
A very popular variety in Europe, used primarily for processing. Possesses excellent cold tolerance, which allows this variety to be sown through August for harvesting throughout the winter. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 400 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Loosen rich, well-drained soil to a depth of one foot, in a location that receives 6 to 8 hours of full sunlight per day.
Plant outdoors in spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep, ½ inches apart in rows that are spaced 12 to 18 inches apart.
Keep moist until germination. Thin to 1 to 2 inches apart after the seedlings are 1½ inches tall.
Water as required and keep soil cultivated to control weeds.
