Eek sorry gal, tis prolly me eyes! ;)  I still say Par-cel if the leaves look like parsley. But if they are slightly hairy then I'm with Shona, scented Pelargonium.

Not if the leaves are 'like broad leaf parsley', Ace.  Pelargoniums are much thicker and 'furry' aren't they?

[Emagggie]

Not something wild from the Chrysanthemum family? I know what I mean but I can't think of it's name. ::)

Well you could but I'm not claiming any expertise here.  You might do better sending 'em to grawrc?

[grawrc]

Ah well g I'm an expert in nothing horticultural so although I would endeavour to find the solution I could not guarantee it.

[Amazin]

Not of the Feverfew family, is it?

[debster]
