Conical carrot Soletta has violet outer skin and a playful range of yellow, orange and violet tones inside. A somewhat broader and courser crown but with a uniformity of form. Fast development (ca. 100 days). Do not sow too early, since violet carrots are particularly susceptible to damage from hail. Strong, long-lasting and sweet flavour.
