Notes

White lace flower (Orlaya grandiflora) is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms from early to late summer and draws bees and butterflies. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Stock, Sunrich Gold sunflower, and Rock soapwort.
