Ammi visnaga

Bishop's weed

Bishop's weed produces mounds of finely cut, filigree foliage clothe sturdy, upright stems that are topped with big flower clusters. Initially flattened and lime green, these flowerheads gradually become dome-shaped, and open to greenish-white flowers.Excellent annual for cut flower and for attracting insects. Will flower well into Autumn.

Planting outdoors

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Plants are best grown from seed sown onto the growing site but if planting out seedlings or young plants, plant is a bed that receives full sun and be well drained….if your soil is clay (shudder)…you can make raised beds and add heaps of compost and grit.
