Description:
Queen Anne’s lace earned its common name from a legend that tells of Queen Anne of England (1665-1714) pricking her finger and a drop of blood landed on white lace she was sewing. Belonging to the carrot family, Queen Anne’s lace is a biennial that is also known as wild carrot. Early Europeans cultivated Queen Anne’s lace, and the Romans ate it as a vegetable. American colonists boiled the taproots, sometimes in wine as a treat. Interestingly, Queen Anne’s lace is high in sugar (second only to the beet among root vegetables) and sometimes it was used among the Irish, Hindus and Jews to sweeten puddings and other foods.
Planting Instructions:
Prefers full sun to part shade, dry to mesic soils, poor soils or waste places. Sow seed in spring. Barely cover with soil, tamp securely and keep evenly moist until germination. Thin or transplant to 6 inches apart.
•FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $35 or more.
