The large-flowered chickweed grows in forest fringe societies, on forest paths and in weed meadows. It prefers moist, nutrient-rich sandy and loamy soils.
The distribution of Stellaria neglecta is still insufficiently known. It is probably a subatlantic-sub-Mediterranean floral element.
In Austria it occurs scattered or rarely, in Switzerland it grows generally scattered.
The large-flowered chickweed occurs in the middle and north of Germany scattered or rarely. In addition, it is very rarely found.
Taxonomy
The species was previously regarded as a subspecies of the star chickweed ( Stellaria media ) and known as Stellaria media ssp. Neglecta (consecration) called Gremli .
