Pacific Water Parsley

Oenanthe sarmentosa

• Description: Herbaceous perennial with soft stems up to 1m tall. Finely dissected leaves give rise to clusters of white umbel flowers.
• Habitat: Low wet sites in standing water. Marshes, bogs, and swamps.
• Pairs with: Sedges, horsetails, salmonberry, hardhack, and skunk cabbage.
• Fun Fact: This common plant of wet areas is an underappreciated beauty. It is not, however, parsley – don’t eat it.
