$6.99
Carrot family wildflower with tiny white flowers and more ornamental leaves. Not showy, but it has very high wildlife value – it is a host plant for the Black Swallowtail Butterfly (like other plants of this family) and plenty of native bees, flies, wasps and small beetles. The young leaves are edible and resemble parsley (the whole plant is edible). It may be combined with other woodland species (woodland asters or Solidago, ferns etc.) and will look good with robust structural plants like Hosta too. Can be used as a (partly) ground covering plant.
