Habitat Information
Dropwort is a native perennial of chalk and limestone downs and on heaths over limestone, chalk and other basic rocks. It can be found in quite rough grassland where it can persist for many years. However it does require an open sward for regeneration and so in the absence of any grazing or cutting it will eventually be lost.
Growing Information
A spring germinating plant best sown in the autumn.
