An under-estimated plant, with elegant whirls of clover leaves and then soft, velvet, feathers of flowers all through summer

You can cut this back to reflower in the same season, so much so, this has become one of our favourite perennial flowers for cut flower foliage. It’s good and tough and hugely long-performing.

The petals have a sweet, bean-like taste and can be eaten raw, as an edible garnish on salads and other dishes.

On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
