Water Parsnip (Sium suave)
$5.00Price
I'm a water loving plant that is a relative of the carrot.
I'm edible, but because of the similar looking toxic species such as the non-native and deadly, Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum) and another non-native wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) which causes skin rashes, burns and blisters, please be safe and don't eat me. But please plant me as I am a beautiful native and an important member of our local ecosytems.
I work well in rain gardens.
I attract pollinators and am the larval host for the black swallowtail butterfly.
