Bishop's Flower seeds can be started directly outside and soon will be gracing the flower garden! Bishop's Flower, commonly referred to as Queen Anne's Lace, is a delightful late-spring bloomer with its big flower heads of snowy white that simply cover the plants for weeks! Resembling snowflakes, these 5-inch round flower heads contain several dozen clear white blooms which dazzle in the garden and are excellent in arrangements. The plants are rounded and very full, reaching 3 to 4 feet tall in the sunny garden. 

This species is not invasive, but it can be toxic to animals, so keep that in mind. Very easy to grow, and great for cutting. Start the Bishop's Flower seeds directly outdoors in the spring after temperatures have warmed. Rake the flower seed under the soil 1/4 inch and keep the seeds moist until germination.
