Growing from Seed

Ammi seedlings like cool temperatures- chill seeds for 1-2 weeks before sowing. Cover seeds lightly. Sow indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost.

Planting Considerations

Ammi is especially attractive to many beneficials, so add plants near or in your vegetable garden.

Harvesting

Harvest when 80% or more of flowers are open to prevent wilt. Sear the ends of the stems with hot water or a flame when using in arrangements.

The milky sap of this plant may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Wear gloves when harvesting.
