Moon Carrot

A carrot relative that indeed looks like it has extraterrestrial origins, the Moon Carrot is a very easy to grow biennial, (though is sometimes longer lived in lean soils), that we love for its silvery fern-like foliage and stunning displays of umbelliferous flowers. Though it can be short lived, it usually self seeds (within reason) around the garden and is easy to remove if it pops up somewhere you don’t want it. A great plant for the rock garden and xeriscape, it is quite adaptable if given full sun and well draining soil.
