Plant Description:This plant is a large deciduous perennial. The plant starts from a stout rhizome and forms a vase-like cluster with fragile, scaly, old stalks at the base. Foliage is lacy and soft; and forms lush, intricate thickets during the growing season. Leaves are pinnately branched, bearing 2-3, broad, lance-shaped leaflets (pinna). Each leaflet is composed of 20-40 pairs of lobed segments (pinnules) which become gradually smaller toward both ends of the leafstalk. The leaves are excellent for bouquets.
