Daucus carota 'Dara' Seeds (Chocolate Lace Flower)

The ultimate 'must-have' for the cutting garden! 'Dara' (or Chocolate Lace Flower) is a spectacular hardy annual that produces intricate, lacy flower heads (umbels) in a stunning, unique range of colours, from soft blush pink to a rich, deep, chocolate-burgundy. It's the perfect 'wild' element for romantic, modern bouquets

Although Daucus Carota 'Dara' is technically classified as a biennial, you may manage it just like a hardy annual, giving you more control over when its flowers appear.
Indoor sowing should begin in January or February for flowers to begin appearing in May; outdoor sowing can take place in April or May for flowers to appear in the summer and autumn.
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 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. When planted in drifts along borders, they appear like softly floating clouds. 

Daucus Dara also makes a wonderful cut flower, adding a laid-back meadow vibe to arrangements.
