Parsley water-dropwort is a wetland perennial that thrives in damp meadows, marshes, and along stream edges, making it ideal for rain gardens or pond margins. It is low-maintenance once sited correctly in moist to wet soil with partial to full sun exposure. Note that like other members of the Oenanthe genus, this plant may be toxic if ingested and should be handled with care.
