'Kyoto Red Carrot' (Daucus carota 'Kyoto Red Carrot') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 sun. It grows 10 to 12 inches tall, and its flowers attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with French lavender, Kent Beauty oregano, and Habanero habanero pepper.
