A beautiful annual (here in California, it dies down in summer to fall and then the fresh crop comes up in the middle of winter, providing lush green foliage and lovely flowers when all else is frost bitten and brown). Roots resemble carrots but are deadly like the seeds and leaves. When I spill seeds on the floor I sweep them up and throw them outside into one bed where they grow by themselves. Invasive plants. A lovely addition to any witch's garden with very showy, white flower clusters on short to very tall stalks and beautiful, green, ornamental, fern-like leaves (brought to the New World in the 1800s as an ornamental garden plant, which quickly spread across America to the West coast). Deer and rabbit proof. Needs ample water! My own yard is filled with a plethora of poisonous plants, from Datura to tobacco to mandrake, so the hemlock fits right in. Would make a deadly but lovely animal and human border when combined with Daturas and wormwood! DANGER, strong muscle relaxant Wild Conium maculatum, is determined by its flat, green, feathery leaves, red-purple spotted stems, white flower clusters, and its gracious four to 8-foot tall flower seed clusters on hollow, bamboo-like stems. The DNA in this particular seed loves high ground water (wet feet preferred), rich soil and full sun. Tolerates frost and re-seeds itself. Ferny fronds on tall stalks that produce pretty white flowers and airy seed clusters similar to anise, but without the odor.A single healthy hemlock plant can produce up to 38,000 seeds. Often confused with wild parsley and anise: Anise seeds smell like licorice or anise or fennel, and its leaf fronds are circular like the tail of a cat instead of the flat and fern-like hemlock leaves. Hemlock seeds do NOT smell like anise, but are rather off in odor. Hemlock is often unintentionally consumed by foragers who mix its plants parts up with anise seeds, wild carrot roots or wild parsley leaves. No part of the plant tastes good or smells good. Every part--leaf, root and seed--is disagreeable in smell or taste, clues to its potential danger. A powerful Plant Spirit governs this plant. She is soothing and relaxing, but potentially deadly to many mammals. I was asked to spread her seeds, and inform people that she is not poisonous. For informed herbalists, responsible gardeners and witches only, please. NOTE: You AGREE by bidding that you are at least 18 years of age and intend to grow plants from these seeds! Growing Instructions: Full Sun to part sun. Never let bottom roots dry out. Loves consistent water, such as stream bank or bog edge or low spot in an open field. Plant in Fall. Dies or withers without constant water. Maculatum is normally planted in the Fall and Winter! Start in flats in rich potting soil. Plant 1/4 inch deep. Keep moist. Sprouts in cold weather and could flower by Spring or early Summer. The DNA in these particular seeds likes a Mediterranean climate with full sun and wet feet (bottom water source). It did well with daily sprinklers. Plant the sets near a bog or stream, in a low-lying wet area, or where deep moisture is always present underground. In pots, add perlite, composted manure, peat moss, blood and bone meal, and wood ash over a bed of stones in the bottom of the pot; keep rocks in standing water, if possible. Grows much larger in the ground than in pots. Can be potted and then the pot placed into a bucket of water to create wet feet for the plant while young. NOTE: If you intend to place plants in standing water, use clay pots so the roots can still breathe laterally. Otherwise, use plastic pots to conserve moisture and allow roots to breathe below through unobstructed holes in the bottom of the pots. These plants, when in ideal locales, can produce showy flower stalks reaching up to 10-feet tall, producing stiff, bamboo-like hollow stems after pretty white flower clusters. Individual plants will produce a single tall stalk, but when left to mature in favorable conditions, they tend to grow in family clusters or patches where lots of side stalks will be present, preventing intrusion into the patch, and always near water. A dependable and prolific seed producer. May not seed the first year if in unfavorable (dry) location or planted at the wrong time. Mature plants flower in late-winter. Sickly pants will not produce seeds and may succumb to aphids and spider mites. For ornamental purposes only.
