Anthriscus ravenswing

Does anyone here grow this? I love cow parsley but its a bit invasive! Is ravenswing any better behaved?

    Mine has selfseeded a bit but nothing like as much as I’d expected and certainly not enough to cause a problem. Love it 😊

    Thanks Dovefromabove, when they seed do the new plants come true or do they revert to green?

    Some are darker than others ... I weed out the greener ones.

    Mine self-seed a lot but it's easy to weed out the excess.

    Does it die down after flowering?

    Mine do, but I don't deadhead at all and it generally gets very dry around the same time as they finish flowering, so either of those might contribute.

    Mine does not self-seed, perhaps because of my clay soil.

    I have sand, which seems to suit self-seeders (it has to be good for something).

    Mine were razed to the ground the night I planted them, so I could comment on "self-seeding". Chance would be a lovely thing.  🤬 🤬 🤬
