Selinum tenuifolium can reach a height of 91 to 183 cm. It is a long-lived, tuberous-rooted, perennial plant bearing large umbels of thousands of tiny five-petalled white flowers from midsummer to early autumn. The delicate basal leaves are thin (hence the specific name tenuifolium - 'thin-leaved') and finely divided, giving them a fern-like appearance.
Water:
Selinum, native to temperate regions, prefers moderate moisture and consistent soil hydration. Watering weekly maintains this balance, particularly beneficial during its active growing season when it requires more hydration. The plant adapts well to natural rainfall patterns, enhancing its growth.
Propagation:
Selinum can be propagated from seeds sown in well-draining soil and partial shade, maintaining 15-18°C. Space seeds adequately to prevent overcrowding. Seedlings should be thinned and transplanted after developing true leaves. Consistent moisture is crucial to avoid damping off.
