Similar in use, appearance, growth, and maintenance requirements to dill (Anethum graveolens), this perennial herb has a swollen, bulb-like stem base that is used as a vegetable. A highly aromatic and flavorful herb with culinary and medicinal uses and, along with the similar-tasting anise, is one of the primary ingredients of absinthe (along with wormwood aka Artemisia absinthium).
