(Noire d'Espagne)
65 to 75 days — 'Black from Spain', also known as 'Noire d'Espagne' or 'Black Spanish', is a very old carrot variety reportedly from Cuevas Bajas, a village in Andalusia, Spain.[1] Its roots grow to six to fourteen inches long and are a deep violet, almost black, color, but yellow-white on the inside. They have a fine texture with an excellent flavor that tends to be more complex than typical orange carrots. They add an interesting flavor to soups and other recipes and eaten raw, are a good source of anthocyanins. Each packet contains 0.5 gram, which is approximately 250 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Loosen rich, well-drained soil to a depth of one foot, in a location that receives 6 to 8 hours of full sunlight per day.
Plant outdoors in spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep, ½ inches apart in rows that are spaced 12 to 18 inches apart.
Keep moist until germination. Thin to 1 to 2 inches apart after the seedlings are 1½ inches tall.
Water as required and keep soil cultivated to control weeds.
