Notes
'Deep Purple' carrot (Daucus carota 'Deep Purple') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, 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. Roots mature in 73 days, and the plant grows at a rapid rate. Bees and butterflies visit the summer blooms.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Mountain Magic tomato, and Lemon balm.
