Ammi are annuals or biennials with an upright or spreading habit, creating dense mounds of luxurious and feathery foliage, topped with branched umbels of small, delicate and textured creamy-white blooms throughout summer. Ammi are best suited to flower beds and borders within a cottage or wildflower garden. Alternatively, they will make a fine addition as part of a bouquet or cut flower arrangement. You should expect to see Ammi grow to an approximate height of 90cm (36”) and a spread of 30cm (12”).
Ammi are best planted in moist, well-drained soil of loam, sand and chalk within a neutral, acidic or alkaline PH balance. Heavy soils can be amended with organic matter to improve drainage. Ammi are best positioned in a sheltered area of full sun. Dig a hole that is the same depth and twice the width of your plant, spreading the roots out before settling into place. Space companion plants 30cm (12”) apart to allow room for plants to spread as they mature. After planting, water thoroughly and deeply.
Ammi will require regular watering as they mature and during periods of drought. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout active growth. Staking is required as Ammi continue to grow, especially in areas that are exposed to adverse weather conditions.
It is possible to propagate Ammi by seed during spring.
