Description

I’d be lost without my honesty which gardeners tend to take for granted. Once planted, it will pop up in all your shadiest corners to give dull patches brilliant glow. And I pick this to arrange with tulips by the bucket load. It’s a must for me.

You can harvest the young leaves and add them to salads or wilt them and eat them as you would spinach.

Care Tips

Leave the seedheads for architectural value through winter or use in dried flower arrangements
