Notes

'Chantenay' carrot (Daucus carota 'Chantenay') is a vegetable for food gardens, pollinator gardens, and meadows. 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 grows at a rapid rate and has an erect habit. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Borage, Bouquet dill, and Sage.
