Contrary to other information posted here, I have found this plant to be a pereninal. The USDA also identifies it as a perenial. The Queen Ann's Lace, which looks very siminlar and if often mistaken for this plant, is a biennial.

I have not grown this plant. It is a native of Syria, but has been naturalized in Europe and the United States. The stems are hollow, hairy and fluted. It is in the same family as parsely and fennel. Its leaves are highly serrated and grow in groups of three each of which is again divided into three serrated leaflets which are sometimes lobed. The lower leaves are large. It can be propagated by root cuttings or seeds. The seeds must be freshly gathered and do not store well for long periods of time. The peduncle of the primary rays is hairy which distinguishes its blooms from other species which are similar in appearance. When ingested, it increases sensivity to sunlight and when handled it may cause dermatitis.
