Introduction:Surely a plant that needs no introduction. Worthy of a place in any garden and a favourite for children to grow, and now a popular item for “sponsorship”. Incidentally, an ideal plant to grow in a large clump at the foot of large trees or near the edge of a pool. Surprisingly, tolerant of partial shade. Our readers will surely be delighted to know that the famous 16th Century herbalist, Gerarde, found that the buds boiled and eaten like Artichokes with butter, vinegar and pepper “an exceeding pleasant meat, surpassing the Artichoke far in procuring bodily lust.”
Description:And a variety we think is going to give a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. Ideal for looking architecturally splendid at the back of the border but no way rigid and in a manner to blend in with other plants, it forms sturdy, branching specimens. The small yet graceful flowers are definitely of the dairy grade and a lovely, mouth-watering, creamy lemon-yellow in colour with a dark chocolate sauce centre. They make excellent cut flowers. 5 ft.
Classification: Annual, Cut Flowers, Hardy
Price: £2.53 per packet
