Description
Coastal hog fennel – Peucedanum japonicum also known as Bangpung. A rare culinary and medicinal plant in the Apiaceae family and is truly one of the most beautiful and architectural plants you can grow – a true edimental! The leaves unfurl in an exquisite way and are followed on by umbels of white flowers in summer. They can reach up to 1m and will do well in sun or part shade as long as the soil is moist, space about 80cm apart. It is native to the coastal areas of Korea, Japan and China where it is used as a cooked vegetable (mainly the leaves, not the stems) and is served as a ‘namul’ ( vegetable side dish). We have found that this plant will grow for two years before flowering and will come to the end of its life cycle after flowering. You can save the seeds and sow the next generation (collect seeds when ripe in the autumn). Although this plant is documented as a perennial in many places we have found it to have a more biennial habit, although some plants will produce for three years before flowering.
