The only shrub with umbelliferous flowers. Initially upright to six feet or so, it gets middle age spread as it gets older (although it will take a hard pruning). Supposedly for full sun in a sheltered spot, I first saw this growing in an open position in Northamptonshire. I've found a few seedlings around the mother plant but they all died when moved

Nice looking plant, I like the leaf color and structure, along with the unusual looking flower heads. I'll have to do some research on this one for sure ~!

The grey-green leaves just under the flowers are the foliage of this plant.
Umbelliferous means all the stems for the flowers spring from one point (like the spokes of an umbrella)
