Dara Dark  Reds

(Daucus carota)

Why we love this flower:

Uses: Airy filler flower, naturalistic garden accent, pollinator attractor

A deeper, moodier take on Queen Annes Lace, Dara Dark Reds unfurls lacy umbels in shades of wine, burgundy, and dusty rose. Its fine texture and shifting tones make it a stunning accent in natural-style gardens and floral arrangements. Long stems and excellent vase life make it as practical as it is beautiful.
