Wild Carrot Seeds – Daucus Carota

£5.00£23.00 Inc VAT

With a dense umbel of white feathery flowers (which reach up to 7cm in diameter), seen from June to September, the blossoms of wild carrot have an intricate, lace-like appearance, making them an excellent selection for relaxed borders.

The central flower of the wild carrot cluster can often be red or purple which is through to attract pollinators to the flowers. Wild carrot does, indeed, smell of carrots, but it’s a far cry from its domesticated cousin as its roots do not produce a crop. However, it can be roasted, dried and ground to a powder to be used for making coffee. The seeds can be used as a flavouring in stews and the flower heads are delicious when lightly battered and deep-fried.

The packet contains native wild carrot seed grown and harvested in Kent.
