Bareroot | Sium suave | Hemlock Waterparsnip | Live Plant

Description: Sium suave doesn’t just look like a gourmet item from your local farmers’ market – it actually is! When you order Sium suave, one of our family forages and collects the Bareroot directly from the natural setting it grows in. That way, your order is as fresh as possible. Want to make particularly sure your selection is tasty and appealing? The roots can be boiled and eaten as a cooked vegetable! Just be careful, since these Hemlock Waterparsnips have an unfortunately close resemblance to the deadly Water Hemlock (Cicuta maculata).

Luckily, you don’t have to leave Sium Suave behind entirely — we ship all our orders out the same day they’re collected and you can enjoy this unique wild veggie right away! Not only does it provide a striking aesthetic but also an extra layer of protection from weeds, pests, and other diseases. And, with the ability to grow in various climates and conditions, you can be sure that your Sium suave will be right at home in any garden or landscape setting! To top it all off, Sium suave is low-maintenance so you don't have to worry about upkeep or large water requirements. So go ahead – give yourself a well-deserved break and let your garden enjoy something special with Sium suave today!
