Mature Height:  0.6   Mature Width:  1

Habitat:  Fields, hedgerows, woodland edges and clearings and moist waste ground[7, 9, 17].

Propagation Notes: Seed - this species usually self sows freely and should not require human intervention. When required it can be sown in situ as soon as it is ripe. Division in spring. Division succeeds at almost any time in the growing season[K]. Very easy, larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
