Heracleum persicum

22 years ago

I'm looking for seed of this plant or information from anyone growing it or using it. I currently buy the dried spice from Persian grocers but would love to grow it myself! Help please...

Amazed that after all this time there is no response. Perhaps you should ask your Persian grocer. Perhaps there's a relative in Iran/Afghanistan who would send over some seed.

Thanks Raymondo. I have some of the powdered seed from a persian grocer. Noone seems to have the whole seed. I DO know someone with relatives in Iran. I asked him about it but he said he didn't know. Nevermind, my garden is getting a bit overcrowded anyway, especially for another giant like this. :)

I don't have Greek Sage, but I do have some seeds for a standard Green Culinary Sage if you want; similarly, I don't have Cicilian Parsley but I do have Giant from Italy Parsley. I noticed you also have Purple Dragon Carrots on your "want" list, and I have some of those too- all my seeds are left over from packets I bought. I would love to trade for some of your cauliflower, radish, or any other cool season crops you feel like trading. Any of your squash would also be welcome. Send me a message if you are interested!

I have Giant From Italy Parsley and Green Culinary Sage from SeedSavers- not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for but I have lots of those seeds to trade. If you are interested, I would love to trade for your Pineapple Sage, Foxglove, and/or Pinkeye Purple Hull Cowpea seeds.

I found its common name listing (Persian heracleum) at the UQ New Crops site (link below) - maybe someone there might know of a source?

Here is a link that might be useful: Listing of Potential New Crops for Australia: Common Names Index, P
