Longleaf (Falcaria vulgaris) is an undemanding perennial herb from the carrot family, well suited to open borders and meadow gardens with moderate sun. It produces delicate white umbel flowers in summer that attract bees and butterflies. Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly during its first season; established plants are quite self-sufficient.
