Queens ann's lace?

Hey Everyone,
I am working on a moon garden. I haven't dug up the garden plot yet but I have a nice stash of white plants I've been accumulating from the clearance aisles. Do you thing queens ann's lace would work. I see it growing wild in the fields and it is very pretty and it must be a perennial right?
Thanks,
Sue

It's so ironic that you should mention Queen Anne's Lace. I have been on a Queen Anne's Lace kick lately. They are so pretty. Yes, they are perennials and should grow almost anywhere. I love 'em...
I think I'll go dig me up some now....:)
Good luck!

| Queen Anne's Lace is one of my favorite flowers, but it is hard to dig up and plant in a garden. It's related to carrots, so it has a long deep (easily snappable!) taproot, and it resents transplanting. I did manage to plant 3 in my bed last year, they bloomed, but weakly, and did not return this year. The good news is that a few of the seeds they set did take, so I do have Queen Anne's Lace this year, just not where I had it last year, and not really exactly where I wanted it, but I'm so happy to see it. I'm also pretty sure that they like a kind of stingy ground, not too fertilized and such. One of mine that escaped seems happy as can be, growing in the gravel by the driveway, and it's doing much better than one in my lovingly prepared bed! |

| i've heard that queen ann's lace is just a regular old carrot thats 'gone wild.' if you planted a carrot, and then saved the seeds and planted it next year it would go 'feral' also, i'm almost positive that QAL is a bi-annual |

We have fields of it here, I always look at it as a weed,although a very pretty weed. I would fear it of taking over a garden.
