Daucus carotaSlices of these carrots look like stars in the night sky, with deep orange flesh surrounded by reddish-purple skin. Danvers-type roots grow 6-7" long with a tender, crunchy texture. The earthy, rich and sweet flavor with just a hint of radish-like spice is nothing short of amazing. They're also great for salads and sides because of their vibrant color. Cosmic Purple carrots can be direct seeded in the garden as soon as the soil is workable in spring, in successions throughout the cool spring season, and in the fall as well. They prefer full sun and loose, well-drained soil. Roots will be ready to harvest in about 80 days. 1 gram packet contains approximately 1,130 seeds.
