Product description
More commonly known as Bishop’s Flower, Ammi majus brings a soft, meadow inspired lightness to planting schemes, with airy white umbels held above finely cut, fern like foliage. The blooms sit lightly on tall, slender stems, creating a gentle sense of movement that drifts through the border and softens stronger shapes around it. Ammi majus has a natural, effortless charm that blends beautifully with relaxed, cottage style planting and adds height without ever feeling heavy or intrusive.
This easy going plant thrives in full sun and well drained soil, settling in quickly once planted. Water during dry spells to help it establish and remove spent stems to keep the display looking fresh and open. Bishop’s Flower responds well to light trimming and will continue to send up new stems through the season, offering a long run of delicate, airy flowers that brighten the garden with very little effort.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Regularly cut a few stems for the vase to keep Bishop’s Flower looking its best. Each time you take a handful, Ammi majus responds by producing fresh growth and extending its flowering season beautifully.
How to Water
Water Ammi majus during prolonged dry spells to keep growth steady and prevent the stems from becoming stressed. Once established, it only needs occasional attention, as Bishop’s Flower is naturally resilient and happy in lighter soils.
How to Plant
Plant Ammi majus in a sunny, well‑drained spot, giving each one around 30-40cm of space so the airy stems can develop their natural shape. Set it at the same depth as it was in the pot and firm the soil lightly to help it settle securely.
