Notes
'Purple Haze' carrot (Daucus carota 'Purple Haze') is a vegetable for food gardens and pollinator 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. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and the plant grows quickly to about 7 to 8 inches tall.
Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Genovese basil, and Sage.
