Orlaya Grandiflora Biały Kwiat Koronkowy

White lace flower enjoys full sun exposure (preferably south-facing) or lightly shaded areas. Though this plant is not too particular when it comes to soil type or pH levels, it does need a nutrient-rich soil for feeding, and it will not tolerate standing water, so a well-drained base and regular watering is a must. Sandy, chalky, or loamy soil are all fine for the hardy annual, as well as a pH ranging from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline and everywhere in between. The white lace flower is not too picky about its growing conditions, and once you get the plants acclimated to their preferred conditions and growing strong, they do not require too much additional care. 

Because of the hardiness of this annual, growers have two possible sowing options. You can sow in autumn for stronger plants and earlier blooms in the following year, or you can sow in spring and enjoy blooms until first frost. You can also just do both!

Sow the seeds into pots that are at least six inches deep, and bring the containers indoors (or into a greenhouse, if possible) during the winter months in colder areas to avoid killing the plants with frost. However, in warmer climate areas, white lace flower will survive the winter without protection.

When spring rolls around, harden the white lace flower plants off and plant seedlings outside. Place only about 1cm deep into the soil, allowing 30cm of space between each plant. Allow plants to self-seed, or collect seeds after flowering in order to sow them freshly the following year.
