Notes

'White Satin' carrot (Daucus carota 'White Satin') is a vegetable for food gardens 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. It grows pure white roots. Its white and green flowers draw butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Genovese basil, Wild leek, and Mountain Magic tomato.
