Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Heracleum (dedicated to Hercules, who used it in medicine, according to Pliny). Umbelliferae. Cow- Parsnip. Perennial or biennial herbs, some of which are used in bold planting effects where there is ample space. Mostly tall and coarse herbs, with prominent and often very large lobed or pinnate or dissected lvs.: fls. in large umbels, white or purplish, with mostly obcordate petals and the outer ones often larger and cleft and forming rays: fr. obovate, oval or orbicular, dorsally flattened, the oil-tubes extending scarcely below the middle.—Probably 70 species, in the northern hemisphere, one reaching Abyssinia. Heracleums are not suited for general gardening, but are sometimes grown in wild gardens or parks, or as single specimens on lawns, where a very bold and striking object is desired. The garden species are coarse herbs, growing 5 to 10 feet high, with broad foliage, which is their chief beauty. They are adapted to all soils, but prefer a rich moist soil, and often do well at the edge of running water. They should not be allowed to go to seed. If these plants are grown on an open, sunny lawn, they should be liberally supplied with moisture at all times. Propagated by division or seed. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
