Notes
'Amber' carrot (Daucus carota 'Amber') is a vegetable for food gardens and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a rapid rate and stands erect. Yellow and cream blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Celebrity Plus tomato, Salad burnet, and Thrift.
