As a lovely plant of hedgerows and woodland edge, Sweet cicely has sweetly aniseed scented ferny foliage and frothy white flowers. Interestingly it belongs to the celery family! It is perfect in the shady border, or in a woodland setting where it does well in part shade. It will also grow in a sunny spot so is nice and versatile and relatively easy to grow. Divide in the Spring and Autumn, or let it self seed.
