Habitat:
This plant is native to Europe and western Siberia and it has been introduced to North America, where it has become an invasive weed. It grows on grassy places, dry hills, meadows, in deciduous and pine forests, woods, fields and roadsides, along railway lines and hedgerows, preferably in partial shade, in dry to moist sites and on clay soils, relatively rich in nitrogen, at an altitude of 0 - 2 000 m above sea level. It also occurs in cultivated fields as a weed.
