Impressive 1.5m tall umbellifer, sometimes confused with Cow Parsnip, but much smaller and with rounder flowerheads. The biggest difference is its extensive edibility: young stems are sweet and can be cooked with rhubarb to neutralise the acidity. Tea can be made from the leaves. This special cultivated variety has decorative red stems and flowers! The leaves are green. In spring, we sell plants, see 831500

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22°C), then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature again, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; in that case, simply allow it to overwinter, and germination will occur in the spring.
