Description: This wildflower with its fern-like leaves and soft white clusters of small flowers favors disturbed ground. The scent of the flowers and the foliage is a bit medicinal and attracts multitudes of pollinating flies and foraged on by grasshoppers. Be cautious of this in a garden setting as it can be quite aggressive. Utilize the beauty of the foliage and remove the flower buds.
