One of the best umbel flowers for blooms early in the season! Orlaya is a must-have variety and is a great filler flower, producing lots of cow-parsley-like blooms in spring and early summer. Overwinter under cover for the earliest blooms of the season. 

Sow Feb-May or Aug-Sep if overwintering for early flowers the following year. Sowing temp 15-18°C; germination in 14-21 days in optimum conditions. The best quality stems come from overwintered crops. Do not pinch. 

Cut when the flower is fully open and stamens are just showing; stems cut too early will not hydrate well. Place immediately into water and allow to hydrate overnight before use; no special conditioning required. 

Vase life: 7 -9 days
