Carum Carvi
Caraway

This is a slender and straggly plant that has delicate umbellifer clusters of white flowers and small, feathery leaves. It is most effective when grown in a large clump and grows to a height of up to 60cm tall, with a potential spread of around 30cm. The leaves resemble those of carrots but tend to droop more and the stems of the delicate flowers produce seed cases, each containing two seeds. Thrives in all but the most humid warm regions of Britain but requires a well-drained soil and plenty of sun for the best flavour to be produced.
