Orlaya 'White Lace'

Orlaya grandiflora
For those of us who pine for the beautiful but invasive Queen Anne's Lace comes this well-mannered relative. 'White Lace' is a compact grower and exuberant bloomer with masses of pure white flat-topped flowers above the ferny foliage, creating a sea of frothy white. The more you cut, the more they bloom! Rare, yet an easy, low-maintenance annual.

PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Once called Bastard Parsley for these two plants share umbellifera plant family resemblances, heirloom Orlaya is popular once again as a bouquet flower and summer garden edger, attracting beneficial insects and pollinators. Long blooming lace cap flowers completely cover the foliage with clouds of white set off by handsome dark green ferny foliage. Deadheading is necessary to keep it from going to seed, fortunately it makes an excellent cut flower, so you get to enjoy their clouds of white indoors and out. Best in moderate summer areas.
