Carrot PURPLE SUN

Purple Sun carrot is a mid-season high-yielding hybrid with a period from germination to harvest of 120-130 days. The plant features an erect leaf rosette with long green leaves, which have an anthocyanin tint at the base. The roots have an elongated-cylindrical or spindle shape, up to 25 cm long and weighing from 130 to 200 g. Their distinguishing feature is the dark purple skin color with a slightly lighter core, giving the carrot an attractive appearance and high anthocyanin content, responsible for the rich color and beneficial properties.

Purple Sun boasts excellent taste qualities: the roots are juicy and sweet, making them ideal for fresh consumption, juice preparation, as well as braising, boiling, and baking. During thermal processing, the carrot retains its bright pigment, expanding its culinary usage possibilities. The hybrid is highly resistant to root cracking and bolting, tolerant of adverse weather conditions, and moderately resistant to carrot black spot (Pythium spp.).

Purple Sun carrot is suitable for growing in open ground, adapts well to various climatic conditions, and is recommended for use both fresh and for winter storage. The recommended sowing density is 1 g per 3 m², which ensures a yield of up to 9 kg per square meter. Due to its qualities and resistance, this hybrid is an excellent choice for gardeners and homeowners seeking a tasty and healthy crop.
