White Lace Orlaya - Renee's Garden

Orlaya grandiflora

Orlaya’s lovely pure white, lacy flower umbels resemble a cloud of small lacecap hydrangeas floating above ferny green foliage. While these frothy flowers may look delicate, they are actually very easy to grow, with a compact habit and seemingly endless blossoms from early summer to frost. Perfect for garden beds and a beauty in containers. The sparkling, airy blossoms are great in bouquets and dynamite pollinator flowers, feeding all types of bees, butterflies and diverse beneficial insects.

BEST TO START DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN

Broadcast seed thinly, 2-3 inches apart, into a finely textured garden bed in full sun as early in spring as ground can be worked. Cover lightly, no more than 1/4 inch deep. Keep soil moist. Weed and water seedlings carefully. Thin to final spacing before they get crowded.

TO START EARLY INDOORS

Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost date. Sow seeds thinly in a container or individual pots of seed starting mix and cover very lightly. Keep evenly moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outdoors. Transplant carefully to avoid disturbing roots.

GROWING NOTES

Space seedlings 6 to 8 inches apart when they are large enough to handle.
