Parsley water dropwort is a sun-loving herbaceous perennial native to open habitats, commonly found in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C
Parsley water dropwort can tolerate a wide spectrum of temperatures, but its range may still be restricted by different combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as prolonged high temperatures, can increase the chance of the plant dying. In winter, adequate protection from the cold can improve its survival rate.
