Mountain celery is a resilient alpine species with sword-like leaves forming dense, spiky rosettes. Its sharp foliage, a silver-blue hue, is adapted to withstand harsh, icy conditions and piercing winds. In summer, tall flowering stalks rise above the foliage, bearing umbels of tiny flowers, a stark contrast to the rugged mountain terrains it calls home.
