    Billowing umbels of tiny, white flowers top finely divided foliage from mid spring to early summer, creating a charming, ethereal quality. A short-lived perennial or biennial, cow parsley is ideal for naturalised planting schemes or meadows where it can be allowed to set seed freely.

  • Garden care: Support with brushwood or link stakes in spring before the flowers appear. In autumn cut it back to just above ground level and apply a generous layer of mulch around the roots.
  • Humans/Pets: Harmful to skin with sunlight
