  • Cow Parsley was in abundance at the Chelsea Flower Show 2010. I can't wait to see what plants will feature this year.

    I'll be going over the weekend and will put some photos up shortly.

  • Thank you for the blog mention. I love cow parsley - its smell is distinctive, if not exactly delightful, and so many insects can be found on it. And best of all, it signals the proper arrival of spring.

    It was lovely to meet you at Malvern!

    Does anyone know why it is called cow parsley? I have heard it is because it grows as tall as a cow - or because cows do not eat it so it tends to grow with them in a field....

    It's a rampant weed here - I've just glyphosated a whole load in one of my bordersimage

    I was thinking of putting some in my newly sown meadow (only a small area) becasue I love it so and for the wildlife but now I'm having second thoughts!  Might go with one of the cutivars mentioned instead
