Estimated Native Range
Summary
Orlaya grandiflora, commonly known as White Laceflower, is an annual herb native to meadows and grassy slopes of Europe. It typically grows to a height of 45-60 cm (18-24 in). This plant features finely divided, fern-like leaves and bears large, flat-topped clusters (panicles) of small, pure white flowers that resemble lace, particularly when planted en masse. The flowers bloom profusely throughout the summer, providing an extended display of delicate, lacy inflorescences that are highly attractive to pollinators.
White Laceflower is celebrated for its ornamental value, earning the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. It is ideal for cottage gardens, informal borders, and as a filler in cut flower arrangements. The plant thrives in full sun to part shade and requires well-drained soil with moderate moisture. While generally easy to grow, it can self-seed prolifically under ideal conditions, which may be considered undesirable in some settings. To maintain a tidy appearance and prevent unwanted spread, deadheading spent flowers is recommended.CC BY-SA 4.0
