Vermillion

PBR/EU 57954
Vermillion’s main claim to fame is showy colours, with a vibrant purple-red skin and deep orange-coloured flesh. This bright skin coloration has good eye appeal to fresh markets, as well as a superior rich carrot like flavour, when baked. It grows well in sandy and heavier soil and the strong skin offers a very good conservation capacity. Disease characteristics are similar to Orleans.
