Queen Annes Lace


Anyone familiar with this? I think it may be a native plant to Pa. Anyway I think that I have a patch of this next to my house and I would like to know how to get rid of ?

It is a wildflower here in PA I'm not sure it is specific to PA. It grows wild along the roads and fields. Pic some flowers, put them in a vase with water and some blue or red food coloring and watch what happens. (it won't happen instantly, but be patient).

Really? I gotta try that. Queen Annes' Lace doesn't grow here in OK in the wild but someone sent me some as a surprise in one of my packages and I planted it. It reminds me of home and is growing well. If you want to get rid of it Angie, send it to me. I'll plant it.
BTW, your lilac package went out in the mail this am. And Gardeningmom's hydrangea package went out too!

It is a beautiful wildflower here & grows all along the highways. I like it and it does make a pretty arrangement mixed with black eyed susans

Queen Anns Lace is a excellent nursery plant for benificial insects that will protect your garden. It also is a call plant for real honey bees that help in pollination. If you cut some of the flowers for vase arrangements, they work well with just about any other flowers.
Please consider it as a wild flower and not a wild weed.
Said my piece,
