  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: any fertile, well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: July
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

    An erect perennial with distinctive whorls of tubular, lilac-purple flowers in July strung like beads at intervals on tall stems above woolly, yellow-grey leaves. After the flowers fade, this plant retains a dramatic presence in the border, with architectural seedheads that look wonderful among late-flowering perennials and grasses. Try it in small groups in the middle of a herbaceous or mixed border, and plant low-growing perennials in front to hide the 'legs' of the plant.

  • Garden care: In mid-spring shorten any frost-damaged stems, cutting back to just above a healthy bud. Remove any weak or diseased shoots, cutting cleanly back to the base.
