Description Again…I cannot ship these seeds to Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, South Dakota, or Washington. ‘Purple Kisses’ is a strain of Queen Anne’s lace (Daucus carota) that produces dense heads of tiny flowers in summer or fall. It is very much like the strain known as ‘Dara’ (maybe the same thing?), blooming in shades of reddish purple to purplish pink to pale pink to white on slender, branching stems with finely cut green leaves. First-year plants usually flower at around 3 to 4 feet in late summer to early fall; overwintered plants can reach 4 to 5 feet, particularly in good soil, and tend to flower earlier in the summer. The broad, long-stemmed flowerheads are excellent for cutting. Just be aware that the sap from cut stems may cause irritation on skin that’s then exposed to sun, so consider keeping your hands, arms, and legs covered when harvesting. Some sources say that the sap might be harmful to pets and livestock too, if they chew on the plants. Full sun for best flowering. Annual or biennial. Collected in July and October 2025. At least 20 seeds. Shipping to U.S. addresses (except the states listed above) only. Please read the germination information as well before ordering.
