Herbaceous, spiny, usually perennial plants, beloved of flower arrangers for their striking foliage and flower heads.
Description:
The writer likes this one! This new, award-winning variety has most of the features one could hope for in a garden plant for amateurs. A true perennial, it has strong, erect stems that are an ornamentally attractive silver-blue in colour. These divide and divide again more than once to give innumerable (not quite true – the stem on the writer’s desk has – he’s just counted – 85 half inch flower heads on it) small, shimmering blue pincushions all in a ready made flower arrangement. This is a plant to add strength and colour to your border and to give you a wonderful, long-lasting cut flower, fresh and dried. And, sown early, you can have all this the first year from seed! 3-3˝ ft. Packet of 15 seeds.
