Carrot : Purple Haze F1 Hybrid

Carrot 'Purple Haze' F1 Hybrid

Daucus carota

  Customer Rating

Before 17th Century Dutch breeding, carrots were traditionally purple, red, white or yellow, rather than the orange ones that we know today.

This colourful variety is packed with antioxidants and Vitamin A. Carrot ‘Purple Haze’ is best eaten raw as it has a less intense flavour and colour when cooked or steamed. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6").
