MEUM ATHAMANTICUM
MEUM ATHAMANTICUM
Meum athamanticum, commonly called Spignel, is a charming and aromatic perennial herb with soft, feathery green foliage and airy white flowers appearing from June to August. Its 4-pinnate leaves give it a delicate, fern-like texture, making it a great choice for cottage gardens, herb borders, and meadow-style plantings.
This low-maintenance plant reaches 50cm in height and thrives in sunny, well-drained positions. It is highly fragrant, historically used for culinary and medicinal purposes, and attracts beneficial pollinators. A perfect addition to wildlife-friendly and naturalistic gardens.
