Anthriscus sylvestris is a short lived perennial English wildflower which grows along roadsides and doesn’t mind a bit of neglect. It performs well in mixed borders where its light frothy white flowers mingle well with other plants, and can also be used in partially shaded areas to advantage. This plant flowers from mid spring through into summer, and can be used in prairie style plantings and wild flower meadows. It attracts all of the beneficial insects and it will self seed if it likes the location.
Sowing advice
Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed raising mix in late winter and spring in pots or trays.
Cover seed very lightly with mix. Seal in a plastic bag and keep at 18 to 22°C. for 4 weeks. If any seeds have germinated remove and pot them up. Then move the ungerminated seeds to 4 degrees C for 6 weeks ( put in the fridge if your temperatures are not cold enough). Then move to 5 to 12 degrees C. to germinate. Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots and grow on . Acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions before planting out into ordinary garden soil.
