Easy to grow, great to look at home variety. Carrots have bright purple skin, with a flesh that comes in a deep orange. They produce long, slender and sweet tasting roots that will be a real eye opener for anyone that thinks a carrot has to be orange.
Position Full sun preferred, but will tolerate partial shade. Best to follow a crop of nitrogen hungry leafy greens.
