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.
