Often called Bishop's Flower, False Queen Anne's Lace or Laceflower, \u003cem\u003eAmmi majus\u003c\/em\u003e closely resembles the familiar Queen Anne's Lace (\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e) but is generally considered a more garden-friendly alternative. Unlike \u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e, Ammi produces entirely white flower heads without the characteristic central dark floret and is not regarded as a troublesome weed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA member of the Apiaceae family, this easy-to-grow plant creates clouds of delicate flowers held above fine, fern-like foliage, bringing movement, softness and structure to garden beds. It is highly valued as a cut flower, both fresh and dried, with excellent vase life at flowering and seed stages alike. Reaching 1–2 metres in height, plants can be maintained at around 1 metre by pinching or removing the central leading stem. Drought tolerant once established and highly attractive to bees, hoverflies and other beneficial insects, Ammi is an outstanding pollinator plant and readily self-sows to return year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, \u003cem\u003eAmmi majus\u003c\/em\u003e has been used in Indian cuisine as an aromatic spice and has a long history of traditional medicinal use. Today it is most widely grown as an ornamental garden plant, cut flower and pollinator attractant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 300 seeds per packet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn and spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring after frost has passed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSow seed directly where plants are to grow or raise in trays and transplant carefully while young. Cover lightly with soil and keep moist during germination. Position in full sun for best flowering, though plants will tolerate light shade. Space approximately 30–40cm apart. Once established, Ammi is relatively drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Deadhead for extended flowering or allow seed heads to mature for self-sowing and dried arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Available for TAS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Available for WA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649656574170,"sku":null,"price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/C2536ADE-0348-492D-96B4-506CA364A924.jpg?v=1781659064","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/bishops-flower-2088","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
