Wild Carrot Seeds (Daucus carota)

The classic wildflower filler, Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) is an absolute must-have for adding a delicate, airy feel to cottage gardens and bouquets. It produces intricate, lacy, white flower heads (umbels), sometimes with a tiny, dark purple 'jewel' in the centre. It's a beautiful, structural plant that provides the perfect 'wild' contrast to other blooms.

Daucus Carota attracts a huge range of beneficial insects to the garden. A wonderful flower to grow for a relaxed meadow style or cottage garden vibe.  Strong stems supporting umbels of dense pale flowers. 

After flowering, the flower heads fold inwards to make gorgeous, unusual seed heads. It's a great addition to gardens and landscapes, providing a stunning visual display and enhancing the biodiversity of your ecosystem.
