Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This refined Himalayan beauty happens to be one of our favorite perennial umbellifers. With untold elegance, infinitely divided leaves craft a delicate, lacelike transparency. The compact yet airy green canopy is framed by distinctive, purple-infused branching stems that elevate a charming, late season display of white flattened umbels. Subduing the riotous array of summertime blooms, it seldom needs staking, appreciates a well draining moist niche and can be sited amid Filipendula rubra 'Venusta' and Echinacea Big Sky 'Sunrise'. Hardy to zone 7.

Annointed as the "Queen of the Umbels", this is what Queen Anne's Lace would look like after a top design team makeover. The refined supreme lacery of foliage and polished presentation of 8" white platters of flowers belies a certain innocent muscularity. The epitome of texture.

From the Himalayas comes this “Queen of the Umbellifers” & perhaps the most beautiful of all the “cow parsleys”. A stately & elegant perennial, it grows only to 3’ tall-blooming from July to September, bearing HUGE 8” across-dinner plate “Queen Anne’s” like off- white umbels on branching stems. The flowers are displayed in tiers giving a lovely effect. Marvelous, filigreed, fresh green leaves that are fern like. Best in moderately fertile, moist well-drained soil the roots are used for treating coughs & colds. Hardy to -4 °F.
