Glehnia is a perennial that belongs to the parsley/carrot family and is common on the backshores of sandy beaches. This plant has a low profile that hugs the beach and its stems are often buried under the sand so that the points of attachment of the leaves are not visible. It reaches a maximum height of about 1- 1 1/2 feet and its erect stem is topped with an umbel of showy carrotlike white flowers.
Parts of the plant are used for Medicinal purposes and as a condiment, resembling tarragon and angelica.
Zones 6 - 8B.
