This plant introduced from South Eastern Europe in the 19th century is low growing enough to escape the lawn mowers. The flowers are shorn by the mower but the main plant remains untouched so it happily colonises garden lawns, pitches and parks. These particular plants have been present in our lawn (grass) for over 20 years.
