Description
This species is common in the cut flower trade, and adds lacy white to meadow bloom. Ammi majus is the only Queen Anne's Lace species offered on our website, so if you buy from this page, that is the species you will receive.
*The "Roadside Queen Anne's Lace" is what many people call Daucus carota, the tall frothy-white wildflower so many know from roadsides. Called Wild Carrot in England, this European native is one of our most common flowering weeds in the US, and considered a pest in most areas. The seed is sometimes available in the market, but is often confused with common garden carrot, since the two seeds are almost identical in appearance. So in the past, some meadow gardeners have ended up with the bonus of not only the white flowers, but a crop of carrots as well! If you particularly love this flower, as many do, we recommend you plant the non-invasive annual species, and you'll find the flowers very similar.
Warning re. Ammi majus: Recently, it's been found that eating the seeds of this species can be injurious to livestock. So if you have grazing animals, keep this species away from them.

My favorite annual flower
"OMG how did I miss these for so long? I have planted these in my annual wildflower beds the past two seasons and they are breathtaking with blue cornflower, red poppies, pink Godetia, yellow Coreopsis, California poppies. They are so lacy and tall. They make my beds look like a painting by Monet. See photo taken at 9,000' elevation in the mountains of Colorado, bordering a golf course. People drive up and just stare (and compliment). Beautiful from July to mid-September."
Not much luck with this one.
"I didn't have good luck with the false queen anne's lace. This is the first time I've tried it and I had very low germination and what did grow was very, very tiny, which isn't how they were described on the site or in any of my research. I've had good luck with American Meadows' seeds for the most part, so I am thinking it had something to do with the growing conditions."
Not sure about this one yet.
"Not sure if any of these have germinated yet in my garden. I have never grown this species before, but I'm eager to see if it takes off. I enjoy the look of wild carrot and was happy to see this species looks similar and is not as invasive. I'm hoping it will attract lots of beneficial insects to my garden."
My Queen Anne Lace
"I used the Queen Anne's Lace as filler in cut garden flower bouquets. Also in large bouquets on it's own. It was just lovely. . . . so delicate but sturdy too. Grew well in not so perfect gardening weather this year, so seems quite reliable."
Beautiful Flowers
"I have ordered these seeds several times and they are super. They always germinate quickly and grow well. They are excellent fillers in a cut bouquet and as an alternate for Baby's Breath. I have not had success with finding them elsewhere and so always come back here for more. Service is excellent & quick"
what a show!
"I planted the ammi majus last year along with my wildflower seed. They were beautiful and showy along with the other flowers. I planted them this year and look forward to June when they will peak."
Love Queen Anne's Lace
"I spread it over a pasture where I had buried my stallion, Legacy. The wildflowers are now Legacy's legacy"
