Harvest Tips: Harvest when 80 percent of the flowers on a stem are open. Flowers cut too early (50% open) do not take up water and tend to wilt. The flowers should be a crisp no hint of pollen shed. Once pollen sheds, flowers decline rapidly. Some growers cut the initial center flower with only a 15-30 cm (6-12") stem length, allowing the secondary flowers to bloom on 50-60 cm (20-24") stems.
***Note Harvesting of Ammi majus requires the use of gloves and protective clothing. The sap of the cut stems may result in severe contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Serious cases may cause permanent scars.
