A staple of hedgerows and meadows, Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) is a biennial plant known for its delicate, lace-like white flowers rather than its roots. Blooming in its second year, its flowers create a soft, natural look that suits borders, meadows, and wildlife gardens while providing an important nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Wild Carrots are umbels, meaning each flower head is made up of tiny white blooms arranged in flat-topped clusters, often tinged with pink when they first open. As they mature, the flower heads curve inward, forming a distinctive, nest-like shape that gives them the nickname “Queen Anne’s Lace.” This changing form adds interest throughout the season, from the first flush of flowers to the seed heads that follow. Grow your Wild Carrot and combine these flower plants with other wildflower plants for a colour contrast or our RHS flower plants for pollinators to bring essential pollinators into your garden.
Wild Carrot is also a favourite in floral arrangements and show gardens because of its light, soft and airy qualities. Its fine, lace-like flowers complement more rigid structural stems and flower forms.
