Cut Flower Dara Chocolate Lace Seedling Pack
Daucus carota
Cut Flower Dara Chocolate Lace seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.
Beautiful umbels from creamy white through to deep chocolate burgundy. An incredibly productive filler that is useful in flower and also as it moves into a textural seed head stage.
Dara is an enthusiastic self sower if you allow it to set seed - so be sure to keep on top of deadheading, or plant it somewhere you'd like it to replace itself. Wonderful for the bees and pollinators or in a wildflower/new perennial style border.
Pack of 6 Dara Chocolate Lace Plants
Standard NZ shipping included. If you are rural, please select the rural option at checkout to avoid delays in processing your order.
NOTES ON GROWING

Spacing: 20cm
Harvest: When the umbels have flattened out and begin to dome, or you can wait until it begins to curl up into seed heads for a beautiful textural element that also dries well.
Vase life: 5-7 days, or dries beautifully in seed head stage
All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting.
We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.
This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
