Notes

'Kuroda Nova' carrot (Daucus carota 'Kuroda Nova') is a vegetable for food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is open-pollinated and matures in about 110 days. Its flowers attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Lemon balm, and Wild leek.
