Notes

'Rainbow' carrot (Daucus carota 'Rainbow') is a vegetable for food gardens, pollinator gardens, and meadows. 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. The roots come in a blend of colors in one variety, and they are grown for fresh eating. Butterflies and bees visit the summer blooms.

Pairs well with Black Cherry tomato, Sage, and PowWow Wild Berry coneflower.
