    From the Carpathian Alps and Balkan Peninsula comes this rather unknown perennial member of the carrot family. To 2’ tall and 1’ wide, it forms a dense, rounded mound of bright green, feathery foliage. Good-sized white umbels are held above the foliage on long, branching stems in Summer producing lots of food for hungry butterflies. Provide good drainage for a happy plant.
