Chocolate Queen Anne's Lace Seeds

There's nothing quite like Chocolate Queen Anne's Lace in a garden or a vase. The deep, velvety burgundy-brown blooms have an almost otherworldly beauty — delicate lace-like flower heads in a colour you'd never expect from nature. And then there's the fragrance: warm, sweet, and faintly chocolatey.

This is a flower that stops people in their tracks. Grow it as a statement plant in your border, or cut it for arrangements where it adds drama and depth alongside lighter blooms like cosmos, zinnias, or white Queen Anne's Lace.

Why You'll Love It

Growing Guide

• Season: Sow in autumn (March–May) for spring blooms, or early spring (August–September)
• Position: Full sun to light shade
• Sowing: Direct sow or start in trays; surface sow as seeds need light to germinate
• Spacing: Thin to 20–30cm apart
• Watering: Keep moist until established; drought tolerant once growing
• Harvest: Cut when about half the florets are open for the longest vase life
