Black carrots

[wormwood scrubs]

I have a slight obsession with different coloured carrots and I have just been reading at the carrot museum that there is a black carrot variety? From the photos it just looked like a very dark purple but if anyone has some useful info or knows if/where I can get seeds in Australia I would be most grateful!

Thankyou

I have read the same thing, but only on bottles of drinks. Let me know what you find out, I am currently exceedingly happy with my Dragon Carrots.

Looks awesome. Have grown purple carrots before, but never that dark!

I have a hybrid variety that I bought before I new what I was doing, these seem to be the ones you occasionally find in supermarkets, called deep purple, and they are very dark but still Definitely purple.

In my little bit of research so far, it seems there is an old afghani and a new hybrid variety which are black/purple and available overseas but not Australia as far as I can see.

You should be able to import carrot seed.

There's always hope for the world as long as long as there is a carrot museum!
