Although Daucus Carota 'Dara' is technically classified as a biennial, you may manage it just like you would a hardy annual, giving you more control over when its flowers appear. Indoor planting should begin in January or February for flowers to begin appearing in May; outdoor planting should take place in April or May for flowers to appear in the summer and fall. Flowers will bloom the following year if you sow the seeds between June and September, just like you would with other biennial plants.
If you enjoy flowers with lacey details, you will absolutely adore this one. Long stems and feathery foliage are characteristic of the Daucus Dara plant, which is capped by huge flowers in burgundy and soft pink coloration. When planted in drifts along borders, they give the appearance of softly floating clouds. You can also cut daucus, and if you do, you can add it to a bouquet of other flowers in a mixed bunch to make a wonderful modern arrangement.
Seed Quantity 100 Seeds
Type Hardy Annual/Biennial
Genus Daucus Carota
Sow Seeds Spread the seeds out thinly on a bed that has been thoroughly prepared and then lightly cover them with dirt. This should be done immediately where you want the plants to grow. Cloches can be used to protect seeds when they are sown early on, and the time it takes for seeds to germinate should be between 10 and 20 days. When the seedlings are mature enough to be handled, carefully thin them out to a distance of 10 centimetres apart, making sure to water them first so as not to disrupt any neighbouring roots.

Beautifully box of biennial seeds. I haven’t sown them yet but I’m looking forward to doing so. Delivered promptly and the packaging is all recyclable and so prettily presented with two cute strawflowers inside. Thank you
Ordered a couple of chilli varieties that I hadn’t found anywhere else. They arrived within just a couple of days (I’m in Kent) and included an extra package of seeds as a “thank you” which I thought was such a lovely touch, thank you! Very excited to get growing 😊
From the moment the cute seed box arrives at your door, until the seedling pop up to say hello...they never disappoint. I've purchased a few different boxes of seeds and know they'll not be my last! Thank you 🐞🌸
I already have baby craspedia seedlings and can't wait to see them grow. I bought a couple of craspedia plants last year and they produce the most lovely yellow pom poms. They look great dotted in three's around the house and I also use them when I make dried wreaths.
This was gifted to my mum for her birthday and she loves it. You've got everything you need for flower pressing, including all instructions.
Nicely packaged and fast delivery
One of our favourites in the range. Balanced subtle tones, good burn time and will definitely buy again. Matt

Top quality seeds and so beautifully presented - I bought them for myself but it was like receiving a gorgeous gift!
Great service, prompt delivery and beautifully packaged. It was for a gift so not tried them but they look lovely.
I am happy to give a 5 star review for Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Flower and Herb Box.
I loved receiving the beautiful package of seeds, with some dried flowers enclosed and not an ounce of plastic in sight!
All thoughtfully eco friendly wrapped.
The delivery was super quick and I’m working my way through sewing the seeds, on the monthly instructions contained on each packet.
I think any of the seed boxes would make a beautiful gift or why not treat yourself!
I’ll certainly be buying more as I expand my cut flower garden 🌸🐞
Another beautifully presented gift box of seeds delivered quickly and professionally presented. I bought as a gift for a friend who was delighted. I will definitely be back again.
I was so pleased to receive this box of seeds, beautifully presented with a lovely little dried flower to add a special touch, thank you, can’t wait to get started on sowing them .
I can’t rate these seeds highly enough! Germination was super fast and baby plants are lovely and strong. Looking forward to a flower filled 2023 , and will definitely be ordering lots more goodies from Bbcg x
