Came highly recommended by a trader. Jelitto rates it hardy only to zone 8, but so far, our two plants have survived two winters in our garden, which (neglecting global warming) is rated zone 6. In its second year, they stayed small and insignificant, looking mostly like feeble carrot plants. But they came into their own in year three, first growing their frilly foliage to a greater stature and volume, and then, in mid-August, displaying their flat umbels of white flowers. Nice plum-colored stalks, too.

It's in the umbellifer family, just like Queen Anne's lace - but it's different in the details of both flower and foliage. |
| Yvonne Carifelle | May 08, 2011 | I discovered this plant 3 years ago by my stream in the fern area. I thought it was a fern that had somehow crossbred with another plant. I am in a zone 2 area in Northern Alberta and it has survived 2 winters and spreading. Lovely plant! |
