This is a weed of waste places, pavements, allotments, hedgerows and so on. In other words it is a very resilient and successful coloniser of almost any habitat in which it is allowed germinate and grow. On a stroll down the road outside our house I would expect to find it at almost every time of year except the harshest part of mid-winter - which is never really. We hardly have any snow in this part of West Cheshire and very few frosts either.
