Carrot (Daucus carota 'Kaleidoscope') - Description

We've combined four distinct colors of carrots in one special blend for a pretty rainbow effect that is sure to be noticed at the dinner table, even by the kids. After testing hundreds of carrot varieties, we developed this easy-to-grow mix of crispy, bright red, sweet purple, mellow yellow and extra crunchy, brilliant orange. Smoothly tapered roots grow to 8" x 1 12 - 2" in loose soil.
