A rather stout perennial umbellifer of considerable architectural value. Originating from the Peloponnese mountain forests, explaining its preference for growing in a relatively cool position. Attaining a height of 100-150cm, with large elegant leaves that are bronzy on emerging, consisting of many much divided leaflets. Which form an airy mound below the large compound umbels of yellow green flowers. Best in part shade in a drained moisture retentive soil.
