Please read our notes before placing the order:
1. The pictures in this listing are examples of the available plant at maturity and do not indicate anything in regard to size of plant at the point of sale.  You will receive an organically produced young plant grown in a 9cm pot for planting immediately or to grow on (pot removed, when possible, to reduce plastic waste)
2. Seasonal difference in plants: Please be aware if you are new to gardening, that the plants we supply are mostly herbaceous perennials and many go dormant in winter. You may receive what looks like an empty pot or piece of root. This will produce new growth in spring.
3. The date the Royal mail label is bought (tracking number added as sent against your orders) is the date your order is lined up for picking.  It is likely to be put into the post a couple of days later. 
Thank you.
Conium maculatum (hemlock) is an extremely beautiful common native biennial flowering plant. Be aware, this is the plant that reputedly did for Socrates  - poisonous in all its parts -so not to be planted where it could be taken for edible.Perhaps a contender for the title' queen of umbellifers' achieving regal grace and stature.
It has a smooth, green, hollow stem, usually spotted or streaked with red or purple on the top and lower half of the stems topped with white flowers.Can be likened to cow parsley but is twice the size.
The plant thrives in poor conditions in sun or shade.Largest plants will tend to be self sown individuals and can reach over 2metres.  
It is important to restrict the amount of seed that is allowed to fall as it can otherwise become a nuisance.
Height: 50-250cm
