Ammi majus 'White Wonder'

Good Qualities

Good filler flower (3); Very showy, large plants, gorgeous umbels; Early, white; Long lasting, longer than others; Good germination and transplant to field; Early and nice form and color bright; Easy to grow, no pests or diseases, easy to cut and harvest, very clear in color and nice texture.

Problems

Petal shattering (2); Often perceived as a ‘wild weed’!, therefore not a great consumer item; Stems are not as stiff as other varieties we have grown; Needed support, not vigorous; Did not survive; I might have been allergic to it, unsure though; These went out with a crop of Ammi visnaga and both fell prey to Aster Mosaic virus; Seemed to be an inconsistency in plant height; Crop failure, think it got too hot and dry for a good crop.

Comments

Similar to white dill; Basic Queen Anne’s Lace; Planted late and didn’t produce, this is the 1st year we had an excellent crop of Ammi ‘Queen of Africa’ which was planted earlier and got a lot of rain; Needs staking; Not much different from other Ammi majus I’ve grown, except for the longevity; Cut from 6/4 – 6/24 (Zone 5); We did not see any great differences between this crop and the ammi that we grow presently, small seed quantities was the limiting factor in comparisons; Beautiful in bouquets, but consumers thought it was a wildflower which seemed to decrease perceived value; I’ll grow again because it is the earliest ammi; Makes a nice filler, there is such a large supply of queen anne’s lace growing on roadways and farm fields that is available that I don’t think I need to grow this.
