Notes
'Caravel' carrot (Daucus carota 'Caravel') is a vegetable for food gardens and pollinator 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. It is a bulky early Nantes type that grows at a rapid rate. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Sage, Black Cherry tomato, and Lemon balm.
