Black Nebula pushes carrot color to the edge—inky purple skin with purple flesh that stays dark when cooked. Sweet with a berry note raw, earthy roasted. High in anthocyanins, it’s a nutrition powerhouse. Sow like any carrot: loose soil, steady moisture, patience. Harvest at 7–8" or pull smaller for snacking. It also makes striking juice that looks like space ink.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden in early spring starting about 2 weeks before average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-85 degrees. Thin seedlings when they are about 1" high. Successive sowings can be made every two to three weeks. Do not plant if crop will mature in the heat of summer as it may result in poor quality carrots. Planting can resume late summer for a fall harvest. Cut off all but 1" off tops before storing. Even at optimum temperature carrot seed can take up to 18 days to germinate.
