The Daucus carota subsp. sativus ‘Yellowstone’ carrot is a bright and original organic variety that brings as much visual diversity as gustatory quality to the vegetable garden. With its long, vivid yellow roots, it transforms usual harvests into a more colorful experience, while retaining the sweetness and refinement expected from an excellent garden carrot. Its crisp and sweet flesh is perfect for fresh eating as well as cooked dishes, where its golden hue brightens soups, roasts, and vegetable sautés. Easy to grow in light, deep soil, it offers consistent growth and beautiful uniformity, which reassures both novice and experienced gardeners. Its fine, elegant foliage takes up little space above ground, while its root develops discreetly, promising generous harvests. This hardy variety enriches the vegetable garden with its uniqueness, while naturally integrating with classic companion crops. We particularly enjoy pulling it from the ground to discover its sunny color, like a small glint of gold in the heart of the soil. Both nutritious, decorative, and flavorful, ‘Yellowstone’ is a carrot of choice for renewing the pleasure of home harvests.
