Description

Marshalls Garden Carrot 'Deep Purple' produces long, tapered roots with a striking dark purple colour right to the core and a sweet, tender flavour. This variety holds its colour better than most purple carrots when cooked. Sow directly in light, well-drained, stone-free soil in full sun, 1cm deep in shallow drills, between March and July; thin young plants to 5–8cm apart. Companion planting with onions, leeks or chives helps deter carrot fly, while lettuce and radishes mark rows. Harvest by twisting gently at the base or use a fork in firm soil to avoid breakage.

Product Care InstructionsCarrots are a rewarding crop, producing sweet, crunchy roots perfect for salads, roasting, or snacking fresh from the soil. With varieties ranging from classic orange to purple and yellow, they’re versatile and colourful. Sow directly into light, well-draining soil free from stones for straight roots, or in deep containers on a sunny patio. Keep soil consistently moist for good germination and thin Professional Grower Plugs as they grow to allow space for strong roots. Outdoor Sowing Carrots dislike transplanting, so sow directly. Protect early sowings with fleece. Sow 1cm deep in shallow drills, sowing thinly to reduce thinning later, as thinning can attract carrot fly. Water regularly in dry spells. Thin Professional Grower Plugs to 5–8cm apart if required. Companion Planting Plant onions, leeks, or chives nearby to deter carrot fly. Lettuce and radishes make good companions, growing quickly and marking carrot rows. Avoid planting near dill or parsnips as they compete for space and nutrients. Harvesting Twist don’t tug! Grip tops close to the soil and twist gently to pull, avoiding breakage. Use a garden fork to ease them out if soil is firm.
