A superior perennial selection of this European native which makes clumps of small pinnate green leaves and wiry stems topped with multi-headed snow white umbels in summer to 45cm. Ordinary soil in sun.

Sometimes called the Moon Carrot this is actually quite a good common name as it's leaves are rather carroty and its flowers could be imagined as heads of many moons making up the greater flowerhead. An attractive plant for the front of the border.

British and European native but many forms are short lived or biennial. This collection from Bulgaria seems to be thoroughly perennial (3 years flowering from one plant so far) and a much better garden plant.

Sometimes confused in the trade with Cenolophium denudatum - which is quite different!

Other Plants you may like

Buxus sempervirens 'Elegantissima'£12.00

Very pretty cream margined selection of Box. Grow it as a free standing shrub and don't clip it for the best effect - this also seems to reduce problems increasingly seen with box. 1.2m in 10 years if you're lucky.

Eragrostis elliottii£5.00

Brilliant clumps of bright grey, fine foliage and arching stems of charcoal grey flowers all summer and into autumn. For a well drained soil in full sun, an ideal ornamental grass in a big container too.

Symphyotrichum graetae KM.K.186.02£5.50

New to cultivation in the UK as far as I can tell this autumn flowering species is a showy surprise. Bright, light lavender flowers for many weeks to 75cm.
