Ammi majus

50 seeds

This delicate, dreamy beauty is one of the most useful and prolific filler flowers to grow in a cutting garden. It blooms even more abundantly after each harvest! Highly prized by florists, its soft, airy flowers bring a dreamy, wild, silky, mist-like beauty to gardens and bouquets.

Toxicity: Its sap contains furanocoumarins (such as psoralens), which make skin highly sensitive to sunlight and cause burns or blisters through phytophotodermatitis. The plant is also dangerous to pets if ingested.

💐🌿All our seeds are carefully collected and selected by hand from flowers grown exclusively on Canadian flower farms and in our own garden. They are grown using 100% organic and natural methods, with respect for nature, without pesticides or chemicals, and are non-GMO.
