Seseli eriocephalum, commonly known as Moon Carrot, is a perennial herb native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia, specifically thriving in open woodlands, grassy slopes, meadows, and steppe regions. It exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching heights of 1-2.5 feet (0.3-0.8 meters) with a similar spread of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). This plant forms an upright, clumping habit, and is notable for its compound umbels of white flowers that bloom in the summer, providing a delicate, lacy appearance that is quite showy in the garden.

Moon Carrot is valued for its attractive flower heads and its ability to adapt to various soil types, making it a versatile choice for gardeners. It is often used in naturalistic plantings, rock gardens, and as a border plant. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate light shade and requires medium amounts of water, making it relatively drought-tolerant once established. It is not commonly afflicted by diseases or pests, but it can be sensitive to overly wet conditions which may lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
