Caraway, Carum carvi, is a hardy biennial which reaches a height of about 2' (60cm). It's a member of the Umbellifer family, and should not be collected from the wild because of its superficial resemblance to Hemlock. It's sometimes called Persian cumin or meridian fennel, but is not closely related to either cumin or fennel. If grown for medicinal use, it will be necessary to sow seeds 2 years in a row, after which the plant will most likely self-seed. DO NOT use seeds bought for the garden
