Notes
Baltic parsley (Cenolophium denudatum) is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. Its broad, lacy white flowers sit above dark green, fern-like foliage. The large umbels give butterflies and bees nectar and pollen. It grows 3 to 4 feet tall, so place it in the middle or back of the border.
Pairs well with Hardy geranium, Smooth hydrangea, and Paris coral bells.
