Editing Conium (section)

== Cultivation ==
Historically, ''Conium'' species has been grown as ornamental plants. As it has attractive flowers to some plant breeders, it was introduced to the US from Europe as a garden plant.<ref name=":0" /> However, there have been documented cases where there was an improper cultivation of plants, where the species, notably ''C. maculatum,'' is mistaken with common edible plants such as parsnip, parsley, wild celery, and anise and is farmed for human consumption accidentally.<ref name=":2" />

Today, intentional introduction of ''Conium'' plants as a garden plant or live specimen for herbal medicine into new and existing regions is less likely.<ref name=":3" />
