"Wickedly intriguing" are the words one of our suppliers has used to describe the following most unusual plants, quite unlike any other members of the family Umbelliferae. With their large and handsome tussocks of mediaeval weaponry (and when we say spear-like etc., we don't just mean the shape - they are, so we are told, capable of inflicting a painful wound "on the unwary") and noble spikes of flowers, they should make a handsome and interesting addition to the border. As we say, quite unlike Cow Parsley.
Plant has spines or sharp edges; use extreme caution when handling
