Chocolate Lace Flower

Daucus carota ‘Dara’

Classified as a “filler” in bouquets, I love the delicate, airy inflorescence and soft colours of Chocolate Lace Flower ‘Dara’. The little rabbit who visits our garden loved the young, carrot-like foliage, too, and nibbled away about half of the seedlings I transplanted in late May and early June. Sigh. Next year Joey Bunny will get his own row of carrots in the garden to entice him away from the flowers.
