'Little Fingers' carrot (Daucus carota 'Little Fingers') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, 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 an open-pollinated type that matures in about 60 days. Its blooms attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato, Broccoli, and Lemon balm.
