DescriptionThis plant is part of the carrot family, so its foliage looks quite similar. It grows quite tall, and as the stems are weak it can look messy, so to avoid this the plant could be staked for support. Easy to grow. It originated in south europe and asia, and is used in currys, salads and soups. The seeds can also be crushed to use as a curry powder.
