Notes
'Royal Chantenay' carrot (Daucus carota 'Royal Chantenay') is a vegetable for food 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. It is open-pollinated and matures in about 70 days. Plants grow fast and stand erect.
Pairs well with Supersweet 100 tomato, Sage, and Fennel.
