Daucus carota

October 6, 2014 By

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Wildflowers

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Daucus carota

Family: (Apiaceae)

(B) to 2.5′. Queen Anne’s Lace. Europe. A classic of meadows and roadsides, this old-fashioned beauty is familiar to many. The dense, flat-topped umbels of many white, minute flowers often have a small, characteristic red to black spot in the middle of the inflorescence. As the blossom ages it folds up looking like a bird’s nest. The flower stems and leaves are covered in short, stiff hairs and the white root smells like carrot. Also known as Wild Carrot, domesticated carrots are cultivars of a subspecies, Daucus carota subsp. sativus. Full sun and well-drained soil. 3 & T1
