FLOWER-QUEEN ANNE’S LACE (SALE) grows up to 1.2 meters tall. Its leaves are 5 to 20cm long & fern-like. This plant is best known for its flowers, tiny, white & blooming in lacy, flat-topped clusters. Each little flower has a dark, purplish center. Tall umbels of lacy white flowers from early summer to autumn. A favorite for beneficial insects. A biennial plant, which means it lives for two years. It will spend the first year growing bigger, & then bloom the 2nd year.
Sow seeds early Spring where they are to flower once temps are around 15 to 20°C. Sow thinly in very shallow furrows 30cm apart in well-cultivated soil which has been raked to a friable soil. Lightly cover the seed. Water ground regularly, especially in dry periods. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 20 to 30cm apart.

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
