Dr. Philipp Simon of the USDA Research Station in Maidison, WI brought us Cosmic Purple in 2005. The gorgeous red-purple exterior contrasts with its yellow-orange interior. The sweet and spicy flavor holds even when Cosmic Purple's wide tops and tapered roots reach 10-12". Fast growing, this beautiful carrot regularly out produces our other varieties.
