White Laceflower

This now rare native plant is characterized by its large white flowers. It is very bee-friendly and attracts a large number of pollinators. It is very interesting for decorating dried bouquets.

Historically, the orlaya is an arable companion plant: it grew together with poppies and cornflowers in cereal fields. With the modernization of agriculture and in particular the use of pesticides, it has almost disappeared from our landscapes.

To promote its flowering, it can be grown as a biennial: Sow in pots in the fall, preferably with frost-free overwintering. This allows them to be planted out earlier in spring. The other option is to sow early in the spring.
