Notes

'Narvik' carrot (Daucus carota 'Narvik') is a vegetable for food gardens 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. Orange blooms attract butterflies and bees. The plant offers an extended harvest window.

Pairs well with Borage, Broccoli, and Sage.
