Anthriscus sylvestris Ravenswing

A choice and reliable selection of Queen Anne’s Lace/Cow parsley. (Itself a lovely wild flower in our Devon hedgerow.) Near black lace foliage in early spring provide a perfect companion for spring bulbs when in its ground hugging stage. Massed white starry flowers follow on stout stems providing the perfect black and ivory composition. Umbel seed heads remain into Autumn providing accent to the border and an attraction to feed birds and wildlife.
