This carrot is stunning in every way. 6-8" long, this variety originated in Northern Africa. Dramatically colored, the center is black all the way through with the occasional purple ring. Makes a gorgeous dark purple juice that turns bright pink if you add a splash of lemon juice! This variety amazingly holds its color when cooked and is rich in vitamins.
I love adding these purple carrots to my salads! The seeds germinate really well, and they grow fast. They are a little “furry” from the fine roots that grow along the length of the carrot, but they come off easily when they are washed. Definitely recommend growing these, and I really am glad that MIgardener sells these seeds!
Black Nebula Carrot
Of all the root veg carrots always give me the hardest time. Varieties like these make it all worth it!
I grew this several years ago. It took the hot summer and heavy soil well (Wichita, KS). I used it in carrot cake, and it turned it an indigo color. I also left some in the ground to see what would happen, and a few bloomed in the fall with pink flowers! The ones that didn't bloom did not survive my zone 6b winter.
Delicious!
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
I started them early....did waterjug winter seed starts .. they did very well....grew up to be nice sturdy plants, bearing lots of fruit! Thank You!!
