description

Organic Yellowstone Yellow Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus ‘Yellowstone’) is a bright, productive variety valued for its long, straight, vivid yellow roots. It brings beautiful originality to the vegetable garden while offering crisp, mild, slightly sweet flesh that is excellent raw or cooked. Its finely cut dark green foliage adds light, decorative texture to garden rows throughout the season. Harvested young, it is tender and delicate; left longer in the ground, it gains length while maintaining its sweetness.

Easy to grow, Organic Yellowstone Yellow Carrot prefers full sun to light partial shade and loose, deep, well-drained soil. Light, stone-free soil encourages long, straight, uniform roots. Direct sow from April through August, keeping the soil consistently moist until germination. Regular summer watering helps maintain tender texture and reduces cracking caused by moisture fluctuations. Thinning young seedlings, careful weeding, and a light mulch help produce abundant, even harvests in organic Canadian gardens.

Perfect for vegetable gardens, edible landscapes, kitchen gardens, and deep containers, Organic Yellowstone Yellow Carrot adds color and diversity to the harvest. It is delicious fresh, grated into salads, roasted, added to soups, or cooked in stews. Its golden-yellow color pairs beautifully with orange, red, or purple carrots for striking presentations. It grows well with Rosemary and Sage in a balanced vegetable garden. If a few plants are left into their second year, their white umbels attract hoverflies, pollinators, and beneficial insects.

Sowing
guide

Sowing periodApril to August

Best time

April to August

Sowing depth0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in)

Germination temperature10 to 24 °C (50 to 75 °F)

Germination time10 to 20 days

Propagation

Propagated exclusively by seed. Plants left until their second year produce umbels that yield viable seed for future sowings.

Growing
method

Direct sow from April through August in loose, deep, well-drained soil. Cover the seeds with 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 in) of fine soil and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Choose a sunny to lightly shaded location for uniform root development. Thin seedlings once they reach a few centimetres in height to provide adequate spacing. Weed carefully to reduce competition without disturbing the developing roots. Successive sowings provide continuous harvests into autumn.

Soil
and care

ExposureFull sun to partial shade

Soil

Loose, well-drained soil with good depth. Light soils encourage the development of long, straight, uniform roots.

Soil pHSlightly acidic to neutral

Watering

Carrots prefer consistently moist soil to produce tender, uniform roots. Large fluctuations in soil moisture may cause cracking or irregular growth.

Fertilization

Incorporate well-rotted compost before sowing to improve soil structure and encourage healthy root development. Avoid nitrogen-rich fertilizers, which stimulate excessive foliage growth.

Care levelEasy

Keep the soil evenly moist to encourage tender, uniform roots. Thin seedlings after emergence to reduce competition and weed carefully to protect developing roots. Apply a light mulch to conserve soil moisture during summer. Harvest progressively as needed or allow the roots to mature fully for storage.
