| Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Anthriscus are best sown in autumn for overwintering outdoors, they will germinate in spring once the natural dormancy of the seed is broken by the change in the climate. To sow under cover, sow in a seed tray at a depth of 1mm. Place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Transplant seedlings into individual pots before planting out. |
| Care Tips | Keep picking to prolong flowering. Will self-seed but the seedlings are unlikely to be of the green cow parsley type and are best removed. |
| Flowering | May - July, the following year |
| Vase Life | Sear stem ends in boiling water for 20 seconds to make them last longer. |

Reviewed 7th August 2019 by Kathryn These plants were very slow to get started. I got them to complement my tulips but they came out much later and only made small plants |
