A member of the carrot family, Orlaya has pure white umbels of flowers held above the ferny foliage. Rare, yet an easy low maintenance annual.
A rare & endangered wildflower from Crete, Orlaya grandiflora bears lovely, pure white, 4-5” flowers arranged like the blooms of a lace-cap Hydrangea. The showier outer flowers are designed to attract pollinators. The foliage is fern-like & well-branched & to 2’ x 18.” Highly recommended, for it has an extremely long Summer thru Fall bloom season. Long lasting cut flower, too! Happily self sows!
