Common name Baltic parsley Family apiaceae Life cycle perennial? Flowers white (July-Oct) Size 28-40" Light sun Forms a mound of deeply cut leaves. According to all reports, its umbels of white flowers should arrive in late summer. Somehow, my single seed-grown plant had umbels of immature chartreuse flowers by late May, which started turning white by early and mid June – hardly late summer. This leads me to suspect that I may have in fact something else entirely. Can you help set me straight on what it is? In any case, it's behaving like a perennial, not only surviving into a third year, but growing bigger and bushier, with many more flowers – as shown by the picture at right.
