| Ammi Majus
Queen of Africa 1-1.4m An excellent selection for cut flowers. Large white flower heads that can be dyed to the growers / end users requirements. Grow outdoors or under cover in fertile well drained soil in either full sun or partial shade. Ammi majus is used both in mixed and single bouquets. For outdoor and greenhouse production. For greenhouse culture, the more uniform and less branching 'Queen of Africa' is recommended. Sow at intervals, preferably direct (taproot). Characteristics are: uniform germination, even growth, strong upright stems and no yellowing of the leaves. The secondary umbels do not overgrow the main umbel. Harvest in one go is advisable. In rainy periods Queen of Africa keeps in better shape than the conventional Ammi. Less influenced by low light conditions, and, hence, very suitable for greenhouse production. Height 100-140 cm under West European conditions.

The cultural information should be used
as a guide only, I have found a number of different sowing techniques for the
same seed from different sources there does not seem to be a standard. With this
in mind you should use this website as a guide only, you probably already have a
tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a rule of thumb the larger
the seed size the more cover it requires, and fine seed like Lobelia Begonia etc
requires no cover.
