Orlaya grandiflora
Also called Large Flower Orlaya, White Lace Flower
Large flowered orlaya is a hardy annual of the carrot family with lacy white flowers, grown from seed in sunny, well-drained spots. It is easiest sown directly where it is to flower, since it resents root disturbance.
Orlaya grandiflora, the white laceflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to Mediterranean Europe. Growing to 90 cm (35 in), this is a multi-branched annual with divided ferny leaves, and flattish panicles of pure white flowers over a long period in summer. The uneven size of the individual florets gives it the appearance of lace, especially when planted in large swathes.
It is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It prefers a sunny, well-drained position.
