Enjoy the feathery, Queen Anne's Lace type foliage and flowers in the garden and the spicy seeds in your cooking. Use caraway seeds to give a bite to your cooking.

Harvest the seeds from the huge white flower heads of the caraway plant to give a spicy kick to all cabbage dishes (especially sauerkraut), potatoes, rye bread, stews, tomato dishes, and much, much more. A biennial, the rosette of feathery leaves appears the first year, followed by large, white, lacy flowers arising on 2 foot stalks the second year.

Direct sow in full sun in zones 5-8. The plant prefers warm, sunny locations and well-drained soil.
