Notes
'Bolero' carrot (Daucus carota 'Bolero') is a vegetable for food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Bolero is a reliable storage carrot that grows rapidly and stays about 7 to 8 inches tall. Its summer blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Celebrity Plus tomato, and Fennel.
