Description
The most "multifid" subspecies, H. multifidus subsp. hercegovinus can attain 100 segments per leaf after several years, and reportedly has been known to develop almost twice that number. The small, somewhat starry yellow-green flowers are attractive, but the foliage is the real star here. Needs bright light (full sun is fine) and well-drained soil, grows slowly.
