Ammi majus 'Queen of Africa'
Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 1996
Good Qualities:
I was really looking forward to a uniform Ammi.; Resisted lodging well.
Problems:
Did not germinate in the field. Cool wet spring (Highlands, NC); It was very short (12;) and the Ammi we normally plant was 36;. It bloomed 2 to 3 weeks later than Ammi planted the same day in the same row.

Comments:
Nothing remarkable or significantly unique over other varieties available.; Didn't notice much difference against 'Snowflake' except a little more floriferous, more dainty stems, slightly smaller flowers. Again, weather conditions were poor!
