Smyrnium perfoliatum -Yellow Alexanders

$3.50

Biennial

Very striking brilliant chartreuse flowers in mid spring
Grows to about 4’ tall
Likes good quality well drained soil
Part to full sun
This will self seed prolifically in our climate. Just deadhead if you don’t want it to come back.
First year will be a small rosette about 4” tall, second year it’ll bolt up and put on an amazing show
Best en masse
Edible-if you’re into that kind of thing
Cut flower
Pollinator magnet
I suspect it’s deer resistant -being from the carrot family. 🤔
Amazing combined with dark blue or fuchsia coloured flowers. I have mine with the gold variegated leaf Aquilegia (also here on my site), and tulips.
*people ALWAYS comment on this in my garden.

Sow in situ on good quality, well drained soil in October or Feb.
