Cenolophium denudatum – Baltic Parsley – Apiaceae (The Carrot/Parsley Family)

Description Cenolphium denudatum is a wonderful umbelifer with broad, lacy umbels of tiny white flowers atop dark-green, semi-evergreen, fern-like foliage. Baltic parsley adds an elegant lightness to the garden with its wonderful textures growing 3-4 feet high and 1-2 feet wide making a great addition to the mid and back borders of the garden. The large, five inch wide, Queen-Anne’s-lace-like umbels provide nectar and pollen in quantity with great perches for butterflies, bees and other small pollinating insects to relax and dine. Thrives in full sun to part shade, in moist, well-drained soils. Also tolerant of full shade and clay and heavy soils making it an adaptable and excellent selection for the garden. Often listed as hardy to zone 6 but should be hardy to zone 4.
