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.
Note: Seeds are sourced locally and in small batches to ensure they remain at their maximum viability for germination. Seeds viable for 5+ years when stored correctly in a cool, dry, dark place.
