About Bishop's Lace
Bishop's Lace (Ammi majus) is a cool-season annual prized for its large, airy white umbels that are excellent as cut flowers and pollinator attractors. In NE Florida zone 9b, sow seeds directly in October–November, grow through winter, and enjoy blooms in late winter to spring before summer heat ends the display. Starting at $2.99.

Care essentials
Plant in full sun for best flowering. In NE Florida, site where plants receive 6+ hours of direct winter sun, as Ammi majus is grown as a cool-season annual.
Water regularly to maintain evenly moist but well-drained soil, especially through the cooler growing months. Reduce watering once plants approach flowering in late winter to early spring.
Amend sandy Florida soils with compost for best results; plant in well-drained loamy soil. Avoid over-fertilizing — excessive nitrogen promotes foliage at the expense of the lacy flower clusters. A single application of balanced fertilizer at planting is sufficient.
