Daucus carota, whose common names include wild carrot, bird's nest, bishop's lace, and Queen Anne's lace (North America), is a white, flowering plant with flowers that resembles lace; the red flower in the center is thought to represent a blood droplet where Queen Anne pricked herself with a needle when she was making the lace.

Seeds per pack: 20

Germination: Ideally, these seeds are planted outdoors, in the location that they are to be grown. Lightly rake the soil until it is broken-up and 'fluffy', and then scatter the seeds on the soil. Water the seeds in. Be sure that the soil is consistently moist while they germinate and while they are tiny. After they mature they are tolerant of dry soil. These seeds can be started in spring, summer, or early fall if you live in a warm climate. In cooler climates, plant these seeds outdoors in spring, or start early indoors.
