Prefers cool climates, moist meadows, well-drained soils, and full to partial sun. Suitable for USDA Zones 3–8. A very easily grown plant, it succeeds in most fertile well-drained soils, though it prefers a moist but well-drained rich sandy loam and a neutral or alkaline soil in sun or partial shade. Succeeds in poor soils. This species can be naturalized in finer turfs, on grassy banks and in chalk downland and heath associations. Plants are hardy to at least -15°c. A very variable species in the wild. When established, plants can spread fairly freely and also self-sow, though they are quite easily contained by hoeing.
