Disappointed by the quantity of seeds for the price but I have no doubt the quality will be there, I am more uncertain about my ability to get them to germinate, it will force me to be applied ????

Description
How curious it seems to associate the name 'carrot' with the epithet 'ornamental'. However, it is a particularly adorable variety, Daucus carota 'Dara', also known as ornamental carrot, that is being discussed here. It offers an unpredictable flowering of airy and radiant umbels throughout the summer, made up of countless deep pink-purple stars gradually opening up to pale pink, and then white from the edge of the inflorescence towards its center. This tall annual plant is fantastic for cut flowers, fresh or dried. It will blend into flower beds, lightening the abundant flowering of perennials, in well-drained soil and in the sun.
The wild ancestor of the cultivated carrot is native to Iran, a country that remains the center of diversity for the wild species known as Daucus carota. This plant belongs to the Apiaceae family. It germinates, grows, and flowers within two years. In the first year, this plant develops a deep and fibrous taproot that can sometimes be very long. It produces very fine foliage forming a feathery tuft in spring. In the second year, from June to September, depending on the sowing date, stems of 70 cm (27.6 in) in height emerge from the foliage, bearing beautiful umbels made up of a multitude of small flowers. These inflorescences, both flat and rounded, are bloomed in a gradient of deep pink-purple to white, transforming the plant into a range of pink and white. The plant easily self-seeds in well-drained soil, although not always faithfully.
'Dara' carrot is one of those irreplaceable annuals that instantly create a decor and enhance all the surrounding plants. It will thrive in sunny flower beds or in the vegetable garden, enriching the supply of flowers for bouquets. Create a lovely original scene in a rockery by mixing it with blue-flowered honeywort (Cerinthe major 'Purpurescens'), striped blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium striatum), and ornamental garlic. It is also a perfect plant for slightly wild areas of the garden or natural flower beds.
Wild carrot mobilizes certain heavy metals such as mercury in its root. It can play a useful role in phyto-depollution, in synergy with other plants such as burdock and dock, for example.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
