Description
Coastal hog fennel – Peucedanum japonicum also known as Bangpung. A perennial 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). Also easy to grow from seed which is available in the seed section of our webshop. We have found that this plant will grow for three years before flowering and will come to the end of its life cycle after flowering. You can either save the seeds and sow the next generation or you can cut back the plants at the flowering stage to prolong them and you should be able to extend them for several years this way.
