This has to be one of the most useful and beautiful cut flowers ever!
Dreamy domes of elegant white petals bring a relaxed meadow vibe to any display. A cloud of delicate, lacy umbellifers... great mixed with almost any other flower. Add these to a vase, and immediately you get a country cottage feel and can breathe easily again.
Ammi is a hardy annual and can be sown either in late August or early September or in April or May once the soil has warmed up a bit.
An autumn sowing will give you much larger, taller plants (they can grow up to 1.2m) than those sown in spring, but really, this is such a versatile flower that I do both and extend my flower season.
Ammi has a long taproot that can be easily damaged when transplanting from pot to garden, so many people will advise you to only sow directly where they are to grow.
I have to say I haven’t ever found transplanting them a problem although I do take great care….so yet again I hedge my bets and sow directly both in autumn and spring, I sow some in trays to overwinter in the polytunnel.
Rake the soil to a fine tilth and moisten the soil before you sow and only cover the seeds very lightly. These seeds are incredibly tiny and can wash away easily if you blast them with water after sowing.
Keep moist, they will not be happy if you let them dry out. They like full sun and well-drained soil.
I would advise growing through netting for support.
Grow these…that’s all you need to know!

Seeds germinated within a week of sewing. Very pleased with the quality. The shop is lovely to navigate, prices are very reasonable and overall service is 100%.
I am definitely a satisfied customer and have been back and bought more seeds
Love the seeds from Bishy B - great selection. Lovely packaging and fast delivery. Melanie is lovely - thank you
Excellent germination and such a good little company to buy from 😊
The seeds have germinated perfectly, first time with dahlias so very pleased 😀
All seeds are growing beautifully. I bought seeds from other BIG flower company, only 3 growing from 30. So I'll buy my seeds here in the future
My seed order was packed well and arrived swiftly..
Iv just planted the seeds out and I’m hopeful for a lovely display next year
Excellent seeds, speedy delivery
I have ordered many seeds from this website, the delivery is reasonable and so are the seeds. I get fantastic germination and am no expert. I have tried other seed companies and nothing compares. This is a very safe bet and one that you won’t regret.
Completely a beginner but they have germinated after a couple of days and seedlings seem to be coming along nicely, very healthy and happy little plants … seeds came in addition to sow a long package and all beautifully presented … will be a repeat customer
These were gorgeous . Presents for both my mum and daughter and they loved them! They smelt fabulous. Thank you 😊
I’ve made 3 orders with bishy barnabees cottage garden so far (spending between £20-30 each time) and every time the seeds have been dispatched quickly. For a small business getting my order within a week is excellent! Ive had amazing rate of germination on every species of seed I’ve sown. The young plants are all healthy and look likely to become healthy adult plants by summer. I’ve interacted with the owner on social media too and can honestly say she’s lovely!
Last year I grew lots of fantastic corncockle, but this will be the first time I've tried Bianca.
There's always so many amazing seeds/flowers to choose from at Bishybarnabees Cottage Garden. Delivered swiftly and hugely successful germination 🌱🥰🌱
Sowed the Dahlia Seeds last week - (in a suitable Pot on the Kitchen Window Sill - which serves as my greenhouse) the sturdy little Dahlia seeds were through in two days and are looking very healthy and happy! Obviously very fresh seeds in the packet.
The Sanctuary wax melts have a lovely spa fragrance that lasts for ages. Loved them so much I ordered more. I haven't tried the lemon and ginger yet. Excellent quality and service.
Beautifully packaged & illustrated. Will be planted next year and I’m confident they will germinate easily as Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Seeds are reliable.
