Notes
False Queen Anne's lace (Ammi majus) is an annual for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil of most types. White flowers appear in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Plants reach about 35 to 47 inches tall, so they make good backdrops.
Pairs well with Double Click Rose Bon Bon cosmos, Old Rose Dandy peony, and Red fescue.
Native range
Middle East, Central Asia, and Asia.
