BOLAX glebaria. Chile. It is hard to picture this matting perennial as a member of the carrot family, but so it is. The plant flows over rocks and hummocks, spreading several feet in time.It has closely packed rosettes of shiny, narrowly 3-parted leaves, pressed against the ground. Clusters of tiny yellow flowers rise just above the foliage in summer. An attractive rock garden perennial and small-scale ground cover for sun or light shade near the coast, part shade inland. It evidently thrives in most soils, with moderate to regular watering. Hardy to 15oF or less.
