Daucus Purple Kisses Mixed is a beautiful cut flower variety featuring delicate, lace-like umbels held on tall, slender stems. Blooming in soft shades of purple and white, this elegant flower adds movement, texture, and lightness to garden beds and floral arrangements alike.
Seeds are best direct sown into their final growing position in spring or autumn. Autumn sowing produces early spring displays, while spring sowing delivers blooms in late summer. Sow seeds 5 mm deep in clumps spaced around 20 cm apart and keep soil consistently moist. Seedlings typically emerge within 14 to 21 days.
Plants should be thinned to the strongest seedlings and will begin flowering around 16 weeks after sowing. Flowers can be harvested when freshly open or later when pollen drops to reveal attractive green seed heads. Ferny foliage, open blooms, and finished seed heads are all excellent fillers for bouquets. Regular deadheading encourages a longer flowering season.
An easy-to-grow, florist favourite that delivers extended flowering and versatile stems for cutting.
