Unlike many exotic ornamental plants, wild carrot is perfectly adapted to the Central European climate. It thrives on poor soils and needs neither fertilizer nor special care. Its flowers are highly popular with insects, and the dried seed heads make an attractive winter decoration.

These seeds are ideal for hobby gardeners who want to make their garden more natural. Also suitable for wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, or as an ecological compensation area on the balcony – wild carrot even grows well in a pot.

How to use wild carrot

Sow the seeds from March to June directly in place. Press the seeds lightly, cover them thinly with soil, and keep the area moist. After germination, thin the seedlings to a spacing of 20–30 cm. In the first year, a leaf rosette forms; in the second year, the flower stalk appears. After seed ripening, the plant dies but often self-seeds.
