Description
Like a compact form of ammi, this delicate umbel flowers solidly all summer and its seed heads are nearly as good as the lacey flowers.
More of us should grow this garden-worthy wild flower in our borders as well as plant as plugs into grass. It makes a good cut flower.
Care Tips
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and pick for the vase.
