Bullet Points:

• Spectacular Color Contrast: The stunning deep purple skin and golden yellow/orange center create an eye-popping visual when sliced. Perfect for foodies, photographers, and chefs who love plating.
• Double the Nutrition: The purple skin is rich in anthocyanins (powerful antioxidants), while the orange core provides your daily dose of Vitamin A and beta-carotene. It’s a two-in-one superfood!
• Sweet & Crunchy Fresh Flavor: Don’t let the unusual color fool you—these are classic sweet, crisp carrots that are delicious raw, roasted, or juiced.
• Versatile Kitchen Star: Slice them into coin-shaped rounds for a stunning salad, add them to roasting pans for a vibrant winter side dish, or juice them for a colorful, nutrient-dense drink.
• Easy to Grow Heirloom: A robust and reliable variety that thrives in cool spring and autumn weather. They store beautifully for months.
• Unique Garden Feature: The dark purple tops of the roots peeking out of the soil add a dramatic and beautiful touch to your vegetable patch.
  

Product Details:

• Genus: Daucus
• Species: Daucus carota (Purple-Orange Core Heirloom variety)
• Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 4 – 11 (Biennial; hardy to light frosts).
• Days to Maturity: 65 - 70 days.
• Days to Germination: 7 to 14 days (Optimal soil temp: 55°F - 75°F).
  
• Seeding Depth: ¼ inch (0.6 cm).
• Row Spacing: 12 - 18 inches (30 - 45 cm).
• Plant Height: Foliage grows 12 – 18 inches (30-45 cm) tall; roots are 6 – 8 inches (15-20 cm) long.
  
• Growth Habit: Upright, feathery green foliage with a deep taproot that swells into a sleek, long, cylindrical dark purple root with an orange/golden core.
  
• Soil Preference: Deep, loose, sandy-loam, well-draining soil, free of stones. High in organic matter. pH 5.8 – 6.8.
  
• Temperature Preference: Cool weather. Best performance at 55°F - 70°F (12°C - 21°C).
• Light Preference: Full Sun (minimum 6 hours of direct sunlight).

How to Plant & Grow:

• Site Preparation : Carrots require deep, loose, and rock-free soil. They will fork and twist if they hit stones. Work the soil at least 10–12 inches (25-30 cm) deep, remove all rocks, and mix in 2-3 inches of well-aged compost.
  
• Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring (2-3 weeks before the last frost) or in late summer for a stunning fall harvest. Plant seeds ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep and cover lightly with fine soil. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination (7-14 days). Tip: Mix seeds with a little fine sand for more even spacing.

Spacing:

• For Straight, Plump Roots: Thin seedlings to 2 to 3 inches (5-7 cm) apart in rows spaced 12 to 18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.
• Square Foot Gardening (SFG): Plant 12 to 16 carrots per 1-square-foot area (4 rows x 4 rows, spaced 3 inches apart).
• Watering: Consistent moisture is the secret to sweet carrots! Provide 1 inch of water per week. Fluctuating moisture will cause the roots to split.
• Harvesting: The purple "shoulders" will pop out of the soil when ready (usually 65-70 days). Gently loosen the soil with a garden fork, grasp the base of the foliage, and pull straight up.
• Gardener's Tip: Never boil these carrots! The purple skin is rich in water-soluble anthocyanins. To preserve their breathtaking purple and gold color contrast, enjoy them raw, or lightly roast or steam them. Boiling will cause the purple to bleed out.
