Heracleum

Heracleum is a bold native for gardeners with room to let a plant make a statement. Broad leaves support tall stems topped with wide white flower clusters that attract many kinds of beneficial insects. It prefers the deeper moisture of meadow edges, woodland openings, and streamside plantings. The impressive scale feels completely at home in a natural landscape, though the sap should be handled thoughtfully.
