Featherleaf springparsley is a rare perennial herb from the carrot family, native to Utah and Arizona, that grows from a taproot to about 40 cm tall with finely divided leaves and yellow umbels. It is a wild species of dry, sandy sites rather than a common garden plant, so care notes come mostly from its natural habitat.
