Isn't that reddish tinge actually the developing seedheads (rather than the petals), and to me reflects some kind of stress that's also reduced the height and vigour of those plants? Ralph

Perhaps in your plant, if it is D. carota as others have suggested, the red tint has covered the whole umbel.
