Notes

'Aranka' carrot (Daucus carota 'Aranka') is a vegetable for food gardens, pollinator gardens, and meadows. 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 is an early, bunching carrot with an erect habit and rapid growth. Its blooms draw butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Sage, Amish Paste tomato, and Pale purple coneflower.
