More Details
Ammi visnaga is a slightly chunkier form of ammi with dense yet delicate white and green domed flowers, which make one of the best garden plants and filler foliage plants you can grow.
Its green, angelica-like architectual seed pods look spot on with Dahlia 'Rip City' and they last for weeks. These are good as cut flowers too, so ammi visnaga has months and months of use.

Reviewed 14th November 2018 by Barbara Disappointed with lack of supply of plants ordered paid for and then a considerable. Time later. To be told there aren't any of the order this also happened with previous orders last year might it be an idea to not take payment but to maybe let customers know when an item that is required is then back in stock or available |

Reviewed 3rd October 2018 by Anna A bit disappointing. In our Edinburgh climate it might have been better to stake them as they were all over the place. I did better with them last year. |

something different
Reviewed 29th October 2017 by Jane Edwards This was the first year I have grown ammi visnaga. They grow well from seed and transplant well. Don't be in a hurry to get them out in the spring. They don't do well in frost!In my garden which is not sheltered they have flowered from July to now (end of October.) I mixed them with echion - beautiful display. Will definitely grow them again - and again. |
Beautiful
Reviewed 8th July 2016 by Deak These plants are great. Strong structure topped with the most beautiful and delicate flowers - the pollinators seem to love them too and mine seem fine in a little bit of shade. |
Ammi Visnaga
Reviewed 15th August 2014 by Josie Davidson I decided to give these a try this year but was quite hesitant as I live in Northumberland which is a tad colder than the South, I bought them as seedlings , what a fantastic success they have been, wonderful in vases of cut flowers and I shall never be without them in the future , they last for an amazing time in cut flowers indoors , Thankyou for including them in the catalogue, I love them and I am not an experienced gardener, just an enthusiastic learner at 70. Thankyou |
