Its cross-section stands out for its contrasting colors – dark purple skin surrounds a pale core, making it attractive both raw and cooked in a mix with orange and yellow carrots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSemailles notes that colored carrot varieties – purple, yellow, and white – are less frequently attacked by carrot flies than orange varieties. Another major advantage is their good keeping quality: roots harvested in autumn can be stored in a cellar or clamp for many months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eHow to grow, step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (April – June):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow the seeds directly outdoors in rows 30 cm apart, cover with a layer of soil about 1 cm deep, and gently firm it down. Earlier sowing, from March, is possible under a polytunnel or in a cold frame. Keep the soil moist until the seedlings emerge, which takes 8–15 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e When the plants have 3–4 leaves, thin them to about 5 cm apart, then after a further two weeks to 7–10 cm apart. To sow more thinly and make thinning less labor-intensive, mix the seeds with dry sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carrots grow best in light, sandy, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, but not freshly manured.
