Daucus carota
HOW TO GROW CHOCOLATE LACE
Direct sow in early spring after frost. Cover seeds lightly with soil. If sowing indoors, cold stratify the seeds in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks before sowing. Sow 4-6 weeks before transplanting out. Transplant into larger containers when first true leaves appear. Cooler temperatures between 58-62 F are best for establishing seedlings. Plants prefer full sun, well-drained soil, and will tolerate dry soils once established. Harvest fresh flowers when about 75% of the flowers are open on the plant (if all are fully open the flowers will wilt faster). Harvest flowers for drying when all flowers are open and pollen is not shedding.

Chocolate Lace is a member of the Queen Anne’s Lace family, that was selected for its earthy brown and pink tone colors as a cut flower. Queen Anne’s Lace was introduced from Europe, and the carrots that we eat today were once cultivated from this plant. Both Anne, Queen of Great Britain and her great grandmother Anne of Denmark are taken to be the Queen Anne for which the plant is named. It is so called because the flower resembles lace. She pricked herself with a needle when she was making the lace.
