Ammi Majus White Dill ORGANIC Seeds

A tall hardy annual with elegant, lacy white umbels that resemble delicate clouds floating above fine, feathery foliage. The blooms rise gracefully on long stems, adding height, softness, and movement to borders, wildflower meadows, and cutting gardens.

 

 

Ideal for naturalistic planting schemes, cottage gardens, and organic cut flower production. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, hoverflies, and lacewings, supporting biodiversity and beneficial insect populations. A favourite among florists for its airy texture and long vase life.
