Spreading hedge-parsley is a hardy wildflower relative that grows well in sunny to partly shaded spots with average garden soil and moderate watering. It is best suited to naturalized garden areas, meadow plantings, or cottage-style borders where it can self-seed modestly. Minimal care is required; simply remove spent flower heads if self-seeding is not desired.
