While ‘Ultimate Hybrid’ is a cultivar name (meaning it’s a specific variety bred for certain traits), the species *Daucus carota* (wild carrot) and its cultivated subspecies *Daucus carota subsp. sativus* (the garden carrot) originated in **Central Asia and the Middle East**.

Here’s a breakdown:

* **Wild Carrot (Daucus carota):** Native to Europe and Southwestern Asia.

* **Cultivated Carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus):** Believed to have been first cultivated in the **Persian Empire (modern-day Iran and surrounding regions)**, around the 10th century. From there, it spread throughout the world.

Therefore, even though ‘Ultimate Hybrid’ can be grown in many locations today, its genetic lineage traces back to **Central Asia and the Middle East**. The breeding and development of ‘Ultimate Hybrid’ itself could have taken place anywhere where seed companies have research facilities.
