The florist’s most useful plant — and one of the most beautiful things you can grow from seed. Ammi majus produces floating, airy clouds of pure white lace-cap blossom held on tall , slender stems above finely-divided ferny foliage — a natural, graceful filler that makes every other flower in a vase look better.Growing to 90–120cm and flowering from midsummer through to the first frosts if cut regularly, it self-seeds freely once established and is listed on the RHS Plants for Pollinators. Autumn-sown plants are taller, stronger, and flower 2–4 weeks earlier than spring-sown ones.
