Anthriscus sylvestris Seeds
Anthriscus sylvestris is one of our most beautiful and easily recognised wildflowers. You'll see clusters of it growing in semi-shaded places such as woodland edges, hedgerows and roadside verges. This lovely perennial plant is commonly known as Cow Parsley or Queen Anne's Lace and produces tall stems with masses of lacy white flowers. As you can see from these photos it is lovely with other wildflowers such as Red Campion and Buttercups. Anthriscus is a great source of nectar for lots of pollinating insects including bees, hoverflies, butterflies and moths.
Perfect for wilder parts of the garden such as orchards or hedge bottom. Anthriscus flowers from May until June. Also suited to naturalistic planting schemes, particularly woodland. Grow in dappled shade with well drained fertile soil for best results.
