Chickweed is highly valued by connoisseurs of local wild herbs. The fine plant obviously tastes so good that it can be prepared like a salad. Its small white flowers are a typical feature. But what time do they appear?

Chickweed flowers from spring to autumn

The flowering of new plants

Chickweed can be planted in the home garden with commercially available seeds. So the way to a delicious chickweed salad is not far. In the wild, the plant sows itself. A plantlet that grows from seed usually blooms from May onwards, as soon as the temperatures rise.

Annual climate influences the duration of the flowering period

If the climate of a year is favorable, flowers can be observed on the chickweed all year round.

  • the flowers close on rainy days
  • fruit ripening is reached from September
  • capsule fruits with seeds are formed

Flowering time is also gathering time

All parts of the chickweed above ground are edible, including the flowers. This means that this plant can be collected throughout its flowering period. With the flowers, it is even particularly easy to recognize when collecting.
