distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of 6 species of tap-rooted perennials from rocky slopes, mountain meadows, and scrub in temperate areas of Europe and the Himalayas. The tall stems bear finely cut leaves and large, flattish umbels of small, star-shaped white flowers, rarely purple-tinged. Few species are grown, but S. wallichianum is suitable for an informal mixed or shrub border or a woodland garden, and is effective grown as a specimen to display the tiered effect of its floral umbels.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed in containers in a cold frame as soon as ripe; prick out into deep containers as soon as possible to avoid tap-root damage. Divide carefully in early spring; selinums resent disturbance.
pests_en: Overwintering buds are especially prone to slug and snail damage. Powdery mildew may be a problem in dry conditions.
