PEUCEDANUM verticillare \nCommonly called Milk Parsley or Giant Hog Fennel. \nA robust perennial that forms a bushy clump of bluish-green foliage but when the triangular leaves of Milk Parsley first emerge in spring they have a distinct pinkish flush. \nFrom midsummer through to autumn stout reddish/purple stems rise 6-8 feet above the foliage and ultimately carry flat open heads of tiny yellowish/green flowers. \nA stately plant, this handsome beauty rises through other plants and shrubs at the very back of the border and makes a real dramatic statement in mid-summer. \nUnfussy about soil type but likes good drainage and while Peucedanum verticillare prefers a slightly shaded site it can tolerate full sun. \nGreat for adding height and structure but unless conditions are right can be short lived. \nMilk Parsley is fully hardy and requires little or no maintenance. \nIf you want a plant to impress the neighbours this stylish giant will certainly fit the bill. \nAll pictures used are of mature plants in full bloom, they are for illustration purposes only and may not necessarily reflect plants at all times of the year. \nOur Milk Parsley plants are supplied ex. 9cm pots, they can be planted out immediately but better results may be obtained if they are grown on for a short time in a slightly larger container before transplanting to their final growing positions. \nPACK 1 PLANT \nIMMEDIATE \n \nOur wide and varied range of Perennials can be view here. \nPlease remember, plant maintenance within our nursery is absolutely essential and means we need to prune back some items at certain times of the year to help maintain shape and encourage new growth. \nWe ask all our buyers to remember Peucedanum is a living item and its appearance changes with the seasons.  Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the website. This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.\n\n We want you to be happy with your purchase and all our Peucedanum are checked and inspected visually before packing. at .  . Due to the nature of the product we cannot accept any responsibility for their failure after planting as pests, disease, poor horticultural practice, extremes of weather and many other factors outside our control all take their toll.
