Prefers a rich,well-drained, full sun location. Plant marigolds in alternate rows to deter carrot fly. If you let carrots go to seed you will find that their flowers attract butterflies like a magnet. Carrots take two years to flower but are not a commonly seen flower and worth waiting for. Especially if there are several. Flower heads can be dried and used in arrangements.
Carrots were first cultivated in the Mediterranean in 500 BC. They were purple, yellow and white. In the 17th century, Japan developed the carrot we see in grocery stores today.
