Notes
'Orange Fancy' carrot (Daucus carota 'Orange Fancy') 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. It grows fast and stays about 7 to 8 inches tall. Orange blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Sage, Broccoli, and Lemon balm.
