Ht to 2m
Dark green divided leaves, tiny pale yellow flowers. This herb is widely used in eastern europe and grows very tall before dying off over winter and appearing once again in the spring. It has a flavour that's a mix of celery, parsley and anise for savoury dishes like soups and stews, with the younger, tender leaves having the best flavour..
It will grow in full sun but also tolerates some shade
