Notes

'Romance' carrot (Daucus carota 'Romance') 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. Roots are ready in 70 days, and the flowers draw butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Mountain Magic tomato, Broccoli, and Goldsturm black-eyed Susan.
