Growing tips

The wild carrot is extremely robust and grows on a variety of soils, even on over-fertilized and salty ones. The flower that appears in the second year is very popular with insects and bees. The root of a biennial plant should no longer be harvested, as it tastes very pungent and is woody by then. With its spreading white umbel flowers, it is also a beautiful wildflower for the natural garden
