COWPAR Seed 0044

Cow Parsnip, Indian Celery, Indian Rhubarb, Pushki, Heracleum maximum, up to over 7 feet in height. Throughout most of the United States, except the Gulf Coast and a few neighboring states, from sea level to 9,000 feet elevation (2,700 meters). Leaves and stem contain furocoumarins which cause rash and hyperpigmentation when the clear sap contacts the skin and then is exposed to UV light (like from the Sun).
