Cow Parsley is a native Irish perennial also known as Peirsil bhó. Its fern-like leaves and airy, frothy white flowers grow on 60cm tall stems from April to July. A great plant for wild planting in your garden.
A great plant! It is loved by pollinators and its seed by birds.
Anthriscus sylvestris (Cow Parsley) is an excellent, early-flowering, and pollinator-friendly perennial that pairs best with woodland or meadow-style plants like ornamental grasses, chives, and parsley. For the decorative purple-foliage variety ('Ravenswing') which we also have, complement with Aquilegia or other shade-tolerant perennials to create a dramatic, airy, and natural look.
Cow Parsley likes a well-drained soil in sun but can be grown in areas where other wildflowers struggle, like fertile soils or at the base of hedges or woodlands.
