The skin of Cosmic Purple Carrot is purple, but its flesh is orange, and its taste is sweet and spicy!The first mention of red, white, and purple carrots can be found in the records of both Afghanistan and Egypt.

These long, slender carrots appreciate deeply worked, loose soil in order to reach their full length. Build up a raised mound in the row, about 8″ wide; sow bulk Cosmic Purple carrot seeds on it, and cover them with 1/4″ very loose soil. Keep the soil moist, but do not allow the the area above the seeds to become hard – this may prevent the seeds from germinating. In cooler climates, sow more seeds every 3-6 weeks for a continuous crop. Warmer climates may be restricted to spring and fall crops, since carrots cannot tolerate an excess of heat. For companion planting benefits, plant bulk Cosmic Purple carrot seeds with aromatic herbs or onions; this will repel the carrot fly and its maggots.Growing: When the seedlings reach 2″ high, gently thin them to 2-4″ apart, depending on desired carrot size. The farther apart they are, the bigger they will grow. Do not allow the soil to dry out. When the tops of the carrots begin to emerge from the soil, cover them with mulch to keep them tender. Keep weeds under control to prevent the young carrots from being stunted.Harvesting: Cosmic Purple carrots are known for their sweet, slightly spicy flavor. Begin gathering baby carrots when grow big enough to eat, to allow the remaining carrots to reach a larger size. If they become difficult to pull, make sure the ground is moist. To store carrots for the winter, twist off the tops but do not wash them. Layer them in damp sand or sawdust. In warmer climates, leave the carrots in the garden over winter topped with a thick layer of mulch. WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail.
