This flower seed is a delightful late-spring bloomer may remind you of Queen Anne's Lace with its big flowerheads of snowy white that simply cover the plants for weeks! Resembling snowflakes, these 5-inch round flowerheads contain several dozen clear white blooms which dazzle in the garden and are superb in arrangements. The plants are rounded and very full, reaching 3 to 6 feet tall and nearly as wide in the sunny garden. Easy to grow and eager to bloom all spring long. This care-free joy may become the foundation of your annual garden!

This species is not invasive, but it can be toxic to animals, so keep that in mind. Very easy to grow, and great for cutting.

Sow flower seed in spring after frost season is completely over when soil temperatures are at least 55 degrees. To get an early start, sow seed indoors in March. Cover seed lightly. Germinate at temperatures of 68-72° F. Germination will normally occur within 10 - 14 days. Harden seedlings off and plant outdoors after last frost if starting indoors.
