Description

This native British plant with lilac pincushion flowers is an excellent provider of nectar and is loved by hoverflies, bees and butterflies.

It works well planted en masse and establishes well, self-sowing happily so is good for meadow planting schemes. This is a stunning choice for damp meadows, marshlands and pond edges.

Care Tips

Grow in moist/damp/boggy soil.
