Laceflower Seeds
(Ammi majus) Perennial. Zones 5-9. 80 days to maturity.
Laceflower, also known as 'White Dill', is very reminiscent of Queen Anne's Lace. Laceflower is delicate and airy, making it very popular for floral arrangements. Typical of Umbellifers, expect multi-clustered blooms in late spring or early summer of short-stalked white flowers. Laceflower, though delicate, knows how to make an arresting statement near a garden border. Add it to your floral arrangements for instant airiness.
Laceflower has an intriguing history as a plant medicine in Ancient Egypt and more recently a resurgence in popularity for ongoing research in its cancer fighting abilities.
