Molopospermum

An impressively statuesque plant that creates architectural structure in the spring border.

The large, fernlike, finely cu...Read Moret leaves are deep green, and so glossy they almost look varnished. Strongly aromatic when rubbed.

In late spring, the flat plates of tiny flowers change from cream to chartreuse and still look attractive as they go to seed.

The foliage tends to decline gradually as summer progresses in preparation for an early dormancy, and is best cut back hard when it begins to grow untidy.

In the Eastern Pyrenees, the young leaves and stems are used in the preparation of liqueurs or eaten fresh in salads.

Best in light well-drained soil in sun or very light shade.
