Hedge-parsley is a low-growing annual or short-lived perennial that naturalises easily in disturbed ground, roadsides, and meadow edges with minimal care. It prefers well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade and rarely needs watering once established. This plant is generally grown as a wildflower or naturalised species rather than a garden ornamental and is not widely sold commercially.
