Spreading hedgeparsley exhibits a distinctive appearance, marked by a collection of showy, white, umbrella-like clusters of small flowers exuding a charm typical of the carrot family. These flowers bloom in early to mid-summer. This plant also features a robust taproot system. Its foliage is somewhat feathery and finely divided, reminiscent of common culinary herbs in appearance. One of the more unique aspects of spreading hedgeparsley is its method of seed dispersal; the seeds are covered in tiny, stiff bristles that readily latch onto passing animals or human clothing. Mature plants reach a height of approximately 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm).
