Enhance your garden with the delicate beauty and unique appearance of Kew Flower House Daucus Carota Dara. Also known as Wild Carrot, this variety is a striking variation of the traditional carrot plant, prized for its intricate, lacy white flower heads that resemble fine, delicate lacework. Daucus Carota Dara features a subtle touch of purple at the centre of each bloom, adding an elegant contrast to the white petals. Ideal for creating a soft, natural look in wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, or as part of a mixed border, this perennial will bring a refined and graceful quality to your outdoor space.

Sowing Instructions:
Sow Daucus Carota Dara seeds directly outdoors in early spring, after the last frost date. Select a sunny, well-drained spot with moderately fertile soil for best results. Lightly rake the soil to create a fine seed bed, and then scatter the seeds evenly across the surface. Gently press the seeds into the soil but do not cover them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 14-21 days, and once the seedlings are large enough, thin them to 30 cm apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

This hardy biennial grows to a height of 60-90 cm and produces its stunning, lacy flower heads in mid-summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Daucus Carota Dara is not only a beautiful addition to any garden but also a great choice for naturalistic or wildlife gardens. It’s easy to grow and thrives with minimal care, making it a perfect plant for beginner gardeners looking to add elegance and charm. With its unique, intricate flowers and the subtle addition of purple to its centre, Daucus Carota Dara brings both visual interest and a touch of wild beauty to your garden.
