Description
Queen Anne’s Lace is tall, branching flower, with finely divided, feathery foliage. In summer, it bears an abundance of large round blooms made up of clusters of tiny white florets on tall, branched, slender stems.
The delicate clusters add beauty and depth to bouquets and meadows alike.
It is a fashionable flower for cut flowers arrangements, and one of the best white filler-foliage plants you can grow. Multiple successions throughout the season is advised for continual harvest.
The lacy, white flowers are spectacular when used in mixed bouquets or simply arranged in a great cloud of their own. They last up to 10 days in the vase and can also be used dyed or dried.
In the garden, it is a popular garden plant and is used by gardeners to fill foliage space and create a cohesive flower bed and lends a delicate airiness to any sunny or partially shaded border. It attracts beneficial predatory insects, bees and butterflies.
