Additional Info

Sea Parsley sends up white clusters of flowers on umbels
(it is a member of the Apiaceae family known for umbel arranged flowers) in late spring with seeds that can be collected in mid-late summer.

Sea Parsley is rich in immune-boosting chlorophyll, antioxidants and skin-soothing nutrients. Its anti-irritant qualities make it ideal for after-sun care & sensitive skin types.
