One of the monocarpic umbels, meaning it will take a couple of seasons to grow, then flower in the third and then gently fade out, leaving behind it a pattering of progeny, or at the very least, an extremely large quantity of generous fat seed you can collect and prop forever more!
Known as ‘black parsley’, this awesome character dominates its space with a thick woody stem which holds aloft giant, slightly drooping dissected leaves, in themselves worthy, then flowers a-top the awesome stick in summer producing multiple plates of pinky/white flowers that the pollinators go crazy for! Brilliant winter dead silhouettes for the winter garden.
Hardy down to -5, grow in full sun or dappled shade in any well drained soils and ideally out of direct force of winds which can rock them over.
