The carrot plants require cool to moderate temperatures and are not grown in summer in the warmer regions. Plants grow best at a mean temperature of 16 - 18 C. At temperatures above 28 C top growth is reduced and the roots become very strongly flavored. At temperatures below 16 C the roots become long and tapered and are pale in color. The leaves are moderately susceptible to frost but the roots are much hardier and can safely be left in the ground in the winter in most areas.

The carrot plant grows to about 1.2 m by 0.3 m. It is in flower from June to August, and the seeds ripen from August to September. The scented flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by flies and beetles. The plant cannot grow in the shade. It requires moist soil. The plant can tolerate strong winds but not maritime exposure.

Fresh carrots should be firm and crisp, with smooth and unblemished skin. Bright-orange color indicates high carotene content; smaller types are the most tender.

In the 20th century, knowledge of the value of carotene (provitamin A) has increased appreciation of the carrot, a rich source of the nutrient.The seeds are one-seeded halves of small spiny fruits called schizocarps. Seeds as purchased for planting, after having the spines removed. Carrots are widely cultivated in most areas of the world for their edible root, which can be available all year round from successional sowings.
