Ammi majus is a plant originating in the Nile RiverValley which has white lace-like flower clusters. It is a member of thecarrot (Apiaceae) family.
Ammi majus (Bishop's flower) has lacy, white flowers, like a more delicate form of cow parsley. This one is one of our long-standing best sellers.
Ammi majus is the best white filler-foliage plant you can grow and spectacular arranged in a great cloud on its own. It forms larger, more prolific plants from an autumn sowing.
