Anyone ever grown it? I want to have it in my flower bed or herb garden. Getting married next summer and want to make my own bouquet with it.
Anyone know where to get the seed? And, I could harvest my own if I knew what the seed looked like...they have a black spot in the middle at some point, is that the seed?? Are they annual or perennial?
Thank you girls!

Now is a great time to try the food coloring with branches of spirea.
My aunt colored huge bunches blue for my cousin's wedding. Beautiful!

I love Queen Anne's Lace too. Nancy that was a cool idea to add the food coloring to the water. We have the biggest,
healthiest, hugest Queen Ann's Lace around where I live that I have ever seen in my life. I took some pictures
of it last year. The heads were so full they looked like half of a snow ball...just gorgeous. I have never
seen them in a bridal bouquet but I think they would be breath-taking!
Hugs and Smiles,

Janie there is another flower called "Ami" (ammi majus) that looks just like Queen Anne's Lace. It is listed in Select Seeds catalog this year. Here is the website and the catalog number is P6065. Hope this helps on your quest.

Queen Anne's lace (wild carrot)is soooooo pretty! Never had to grow it. It grows itself wild in the ditches across from us, and all around us. I've seen seed packets. I'll look into collecting seeds late summer. They make pretty bouquets in the house too. Like peonies..make sure you check them for ants before using them for bouquets. (a good shake or flick should do it.)
