Cambridge milk-parsley
Selinum carvifolia
Cambridge milk-parsley is a rare and graceful perennial umbellifer best suited to moist, neutral to alkaline soils in sun or partial shade, mimicking its native damp meadow habitat. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and plant in a sheltered spot to protect its delicate white flower umbels. It is an excellent choice for wildlife and meadow gardens but can be tricky to source and establish outside its preferred conditions.
