150x Cow Parsley Seeds – UK Native Wildflower For Meadows & Borders

Cow Parsley Seeds, a popular native wildflower with delicate, lacy white umbels and graceful foliage, will add a touch of the British countryside to your garden. Cow Parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris) grows best in well-drained soil in sunny to moderately shady areas, making it ideal for meadows, borders, and naturalistic plantings. It offers bees and other pollinators vital early-season nectar throughout its April–June bloom. This resilient biennial easily self-seeds, producing lovely drifts year after year with little work. With this classic British wildflower, you can maintain local biodiversity while adding a touch of natural elegance.

Growing Instructions:

For optimal results, plant cow parsley seeds outdoors in the UK between March and May. Pick a location with well-drained soil that is either sunny or somewhat shaded, like natural gardens, borders, or meadow edges. To ensure adequate seed-to-soil contact, scatter seeds thinly over prepared soil and gently rake in or push; avoid covering firmly because light promotes germination. Until seedlings appear, which normally happens in 14–21 days, keep the soil moist. Cow Parsley is a hardy biennial; in the first year, it forms a green cluster, and in the second year, it produces tall stems with delicate white blooms, often from April to June. It is a low-maintenance option for enhancing natural beauty and assisting pollinators because it self-seeds easily.
