Chickweed can germinate readily when conditions are favourable and may behave as a winter annual, summer annual or short-lived perennial depending upon climate. It prefers moist soil and can grow in both semi-shade and more open positions.
Because it can spread and seed freely, thoughtful management is worthwhile when introducing chickweed to the garden.
