Notes
'Yellowstone' carrot (Daucus carota 'Yellowstone') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator 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 grows fast and stays 6 to 8 inches tall. Its deep color and strong tops make it a good pick, and its blooms draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Celebrity Plus tomato, and PowWow Wild Berry coneflower.
