Hemlock, Spotted
- Product number: 359200
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Conium maculatum
A plant with a rich history: used by experts as a sedative or painkiller, but paralyzing and therefore deadly in larger doses. Socrates was forced to drink a cup of coniine in 399 BC... This native plant is rare along dikes and roads. The leaves and white umbels are parsnip-like. Typical are the hollow, glaucous and usually brownish-red spotted stems. The typical smell reveals that we are dealing with a poisonous plant. Animals do not eat it, watch out for children! The plants easily grow 2-3 m high in a fertile spot!
