Sowing Instructions:
Sow Carrot Purple Sun seeds directly outdoors in well-drained, fertile soil, ideally in early spring or late summer for a late autumn harvest. Plant the seeds about 1 cm deep and 2-3 cm apart in rows spaced 25-30 cm apart. Carrots prefer loose, stone-free soil for optimal root development, so consider preparing the soil by loosening it thoroughly before sowing. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and thin the seedlings as they grow to ensure enough space for the roots to mature.

This early-maturing variety typically reaches harvest size in about 75-80 days, producing long, cylindrical roots with a vibrant purple exterior and a sweet, tender orange interior. Carrot Purple Sun combines both flavour and nutrition, offering a higher level of anthocyanins in the skin for added health benefits. Whether roasted, grated into salads, or juiced, this unique carrot adds a delightful twist to your meals. With its stunning appearance and exceptional flavour, Kew VegeTable Carrot Purple Sun is a fantastic choice for gardeners seeking a healthy and eye-catching addition to their vegetable patch.
