anyone got any ammi majus seeds spare?

I grew them this year but OH has thrown my saved seeds out (wrapped in kitchen paper on the draining board -he's not a gardenerimage). I've been to my two local garden centres and none on the shelves. Monty said if we plant them now they will be super duper. Would appreciate some if anyone got any spare image

    I'll have a look and see if my GC has any - not holding my breath as they're not always equipped for actual gardeners  image

  • Hi. Quite a few sellers on eBay offering seeds. Not seen this plant before. How lovely, might get some myself! 

  • Haha - I'm glad I've inspired you to grow them - they were gorgeous frothy clouds amongst my perennials this year. They are one of the seeds that can be sown now and will produce a bigger better flower. Thanks Fairygirl and Jasmine -  I'll have a look on eBay nowimage

    I love them and find they grow much better from an Autumn sowing. Mine usually grow about 4 to 5 feet, however this year I forgot and sowed them in Spring. They grew to about 2 to feet and although still pretty, they lacked the impact of Autumn sown seeds.

    I have decided to get some for an Autumn  sowing, Doc has convinced me, only thing now is I will need to look through and order the whole 10 packets, I have not long done  that for the last lot I bought. 

    I am a seed addict !
