Notes
'Dara' daucus (Daucus carota 'Dara') is a vegetable for cut flower use, food gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is a carrot that makes an outstanding cut flower. Pink, purple, and white blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Six Hills Giant nepeta, PowWow Wild Berry coneflower, and Genovese basil.
