Description
Ammi majus
This is one of the most useful and productive filler flowers you can grow from seed. The more you pick, the more they flower. I plant hundreds of them every year and use every single stem. The lacy flower heads and crisp green-white color provide an invaluable backbone for late spring and early summer bouquets.
Plant type: annual
Height: 48-65”
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 90-110 days
Plant spacing: 12-18”
Pinch: N/A
Approx seeds per packet: 100
How to grow:
Start seed indoors in trays 6-8 weeks before last frost; transplant out while weather is still cool.
Harvesting/vase life:
Pick when 80 percent of the flowers on a stem are open. If harvested much earlier, the stems have a tendency to wilt. Fresh flowers will last 6-8 days in the vase and flower preservative is recommended.
