Ammi majus snapped - is it doomed?

The umbel on one of my ammi majus snapped and without thinking I just pulled it off. It was only after doing so I realised it might not produce another! Is this the case? thanks for reading 😊

    They are multi stemmed, so it'll produce more branching stems from below that point. 
    It'll look best if you nip it off neatly down to the next leaf joint though  :)

    Nae bother  ;)
    Nice plants for the summer garden. I collected seed from mine last year - a variety called Casablanca, but no luck with germination as yet. 
    It's a good doer though.  :)

    It was a very useful plant last year. I'll probably just buy fresh seed again.  :)

    Love that film too @Fairygirl .  I was given a spare ammi a couple of years ago and now find it self seeds.  Oddly, this year there are no plants in the original site - I suspect OH's indiscriminate weeding technique is to blame - but I have a couple in other beds this year.   Always buzzing with insects.   Lovely plants.
