Cosmic Purple Carrot Seeds | Deep Purple Skin & Sweet Orange Core

Cosmic Purple is a colourful carrot variety with intense purple skin and a contrasting lighter core, giving a vivid two‑tone effect when sliced. Roots are medium‑sized, long and tapered, typically around 15–20 cm, with a cylindrical‑conical shape and smooth skin.​
The flavour is sweet with a gentle earthy note, delicious eaten raw or cooked, and ideal for salads, dipping platters, roasting and garnishes. As a medium‑early variety with vigorous tops, it performs well in home gardens and small market plots where eye‑catching, gourmet carrots add real value.​

Growing information

🌱 Sowing

• Sow direct in open ground on a fine, stone‑free seedbed; do not transplant.

• Make successional sowings through spring and early summer for a longer harvest window and keep the seedbed evenly moist for steady germination.​

☀️ Light

• Grows best in full sun but will tolerate light partial shade, especially in warmer climates.​

💧 Watering

• Water regularly during dry spells to avoid growth checks and splitting.

• Aim for consistent moisture rather than heavy, infrequent soakings.​

🌡️ Germination

• Germination usually takes around 10–20 days in moist soil at 15–30 °C.​

📏 Spacing & size

• Sow thinly in shallow drills and thin seedlings to about 5–8 cm apart for well‑shaped roots around 15–20 cm long.​

• Leave 20–30 cm between rows so you can weed and hoe easily.
