More Details
It's good to have lots of these three to fill a corner of your garden with lovely, delicate yet tall foliage flowers. You could pick them on their own to fill a vase or use them to add to any homemade mixed arrangements – perfect.
This collection contains:
- Ammi visnaga 'Compact White'
- Euphorbia oblongata (Please note: This is toxic if eaten. It is a skin and eye irritant.)
- Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens'
| Type | Hardy Annual, Perennial |
| Height | 90cm (36in) |
| Spacing | 30cm (12in) |
| Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Cerinthe has tough coated seeds and is best soaked for 12 hours and then sown under cover in mid spring or late summer. Direct sow the ammi and euphorbia in an empty patch of ground April-May, scattering the seeds into a fine tilth, in a noughts and crosses grid. Then you'll know what are the seeds and what are the weeds. If you have bought these as seedlings plant them out about 30cm apart, at plug depth in the ground, in a sunny or lightly shady spot. Water in well and keep watering every 5-7 days if the weather is dry until established. |
| Care Tips | Keep picking all three regularly, above a pair of leaves, and more flowers should grow. |
