Much easier than Ammi Majus

Really easy to grow from seed. Lovely umbelliferous flower heads. I've tried to grow Ammi Majus, these are not as delicate, but definitely hardier.

Visnaga daucoides 'Green Mist'
bishop's weed (syn. Ammi visnaga)
approx 200 seeds
in stock (shipped within 3-5 working days)
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: any moist but well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: June to September
- Hardiness: hardy annual
Mounds of finely cut, filigree foliage clothe sturdy, upright stems that are topped with big (up to 12cm across) flower clusters. Initially flattened and lime green, these flowerheads gradually become dome-shaped, and open to greenish-white flowers. Their colouring acts as a wonderful foil for intense shades of plum and purple and the flowers last well after being cut and added to the vase. - Garden care:Fill trays with good quality compost and lightly cover the seeds. Water, and place in a cold frame or greenhouse. Pot on when they have put on their first true leaves and then harden off before planting out after the frosts have passed. Alternatively sow direct in late spring or early summer and thin out to 20-30cm as they grow. Seeds sown in autumn and overwintered in a cold frame, will produce bigger plants which will flower earlier in the year, than those sown in spring.
- Sow: September-November or March-May
- Flowering: June-September
- Approximate quantity: 200 seeds.

Beautiful flowers. I followed the sowing instructions closely, most indoor sown Ammi V seeds germinated and grew into healthy plants. Great flowers for cutting and the borders. Lots of seeds in pack so I'll be growing more this year.

Everyone's in love with frothy planting these days, light and airy concoctions that seem to float through the border like a soft summer breeze. Many of these gauzy beauties are umbellifers, members of the cow parsley tribe. They are blessed with tiny flo
