Ammi majus graceland Ammi majus graceland

Good Qualities

Nice canopy, color; Unique and something different; Nice product, but no better than just Ammi majus; Extends the ammi season; This DID take the heat better than most ammi and did very well for us, would like to try it again on a larger basis.

Problems

Short, thick, crooked stems; Looks similar to garden weed, Queen Ann’s Lace; Weak stem; Due to heat, this one got away from us – we didn’t pick in a timely manner so harvested very few stems; Shattering when open; Matures 2 weeks later than regular seed, not able to do successive seedings with this as it takes; Somewhat fragile flowers, Ammi visnaga flowers held up better; Florists don’t like it – tired of ammi by the time this variety came along.

Postharvest

See separate postharvest report in this issue for results from NC State University postharvest evaluations.

Comments

Cut only a few – tried to grow and sell for years; My customers do not buy; Direct seeded into garden, emerged decent only to be eaten by rabbits, resulting in loss of plot, will likely not try again next year, as local wholesaler and retail florists prefer the ammi that comes out of South America, because it is thicker stemmed and more uniform, would consider it if we were growing for a farmers market; Similar to Queen Ann’s Lace; Not much different from any other ammi; Ammi visnaga performed much better in field, provided more harvest and had larger vase life; Nice foliage.
