Daucus carota

Wild Carrot, Queen Anne’s Lace (Mealbhacán)

This tall native is a regular in our hedgerows, grasslands and coastal areas. The tiny flowers and feathery leaves do give it a lace-like appearance, quite like the leaves of the carrot plant. Umbels of delicate creamy-white flowers, the central flower often red, appear in June and sit on tall, erect hairy stems until August. A must for any native garden or wildflower meadow- it will add height and the pollinators will love it.
