It is native to central and western Europe and introduced to parts of the north-east United States. Plantago media grows in damp grassy meadows. A slender stalk of between 5 and 50 cm develops from a basal rosette of finely-haired leaves. Delicate pink-white flowers are borne between May and September. P. media is hermaphrodite and is pollinated by wind or insects, particularly bees.
