Notes
'Rubypak' carrot (Daucus carota 'Rubypak') 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 red-flowered plants grow fast, stay upright at 7 to 8 inches tall, and attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Broccoli, Supersweet 100 tomato, Virginia strawberry, and Ruby Star coneflower.
