Wildflowers UK, bringing the British Countryside to you.

Sweet Cicely -myrrhis odorate – grows well on most soil types in sun or semi-shade. In the wild, it can be found growing along roadsides and on open ground as well as in hedgerows, grassland and open woodland. Sweet Cicely typically grows to about 2-3 ft high and has attractive fern like foliage with creamy white flowers in May and June. It looks best growing with wild flowers such as Red Campion, Hedge Woundwort, Hedge Garlic and Columbine.


How to grow Sweet Cicely Seeds
Sweet Cicely seeds should be sown in autumn, either outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered with compost. Trays should be left outside over winter and either placed in a cold frame or covered with a sheet of glass. The seedlings, which are quick to develop, can be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year.
