Daucus dara , also known as ornamental carrot or wild carrot, is a graceful annual reminiscent of meadowsweet, but with a touch more boldness. Its airy flower heads, ranging from deep mauve to delicate pink, sometimes pearly cream, emerge from the tops of sturdy stems, proudly reaching over 60 cm in height. In a vibrant garden, it is a valuable companion to flowerbeds, both for its subtle presence and its appeal to pollinators.

  • Growing climate: Cool temperate climate
  • Sowing difficulty level: Medium
  • Care required: Regular

Note: Sensitive to excessive moisture at the collar, requires well-drained soil.

Originating from the wild carrot (Daucus carota) lineage, it was selected for its refined color palette and light texture. Planted in well-drained, sunny soil, it thrives with ease, adding verticality and a touch of poetry to flowerbeds in summer.
