This is Orlaya 'White Lace', a non-invasive substitute for Queen Anne's Lace. I grew these from seed late winter of 2019. They were happy and reseeded themselves in the garden this past Spring. The plant itself is very pretty, about 2' tall with leaves similar to carrots and blooms for quite a while. (If I was diligent about dead-heading they'd bloom longer.
) Bees and butterflies love them. I definitely recommend them if you're looking for white blooms in the Spring.
Marilyn, here are a few pics taken mid-April through late-May
