Seseli montanum is a drought-tolerant perennial umbellifer native to rocky, calcareous slopes of the western Mediterranean, making it an excellent low-maintenance addition to dry or gravel gardens. Plant in full sun with very well-drained soil and water infrequently, as it strongly dislikes wet roots. Its delicate white flower umbels attract pollinators and provide a soft, airy texture in the border.
