Melanoselinium decipiens

Description

A monocarpic species, with gigantic rosettes of delightful, divided leaves taking on tints of bronze pink in autumn, capped with branched inflorescences of medium to pale pink umbels on stems rising to 6 ft. Curiously absent from cultivation, this represents yet another fantastic umbellifer that can be utilized in our gardens. Grown under the protection of our light woodland, it has yet to bloom, though we have enjoyed the effect of its foliage for nearly four years now. These are seedlings from a pink form, so expect flower color variation.
