Queen Anne’s Lace ‘Dara’ – S2

Although closely related to the biennial Queen Anne’s Lace, this showy annual shares none of the former’s weediness. The lacy blooms in varied hues of pastel pink to deep cranberry are excellent and sought-after cut flowers. The developing buds nestle in a lacy collar of bracts, and ferny leaves add to the impression of a graceful “see-through” plant, with clouds of flowers atop tall stems.
