  Beautiful fluffy plumes of rich lilac-purple flowers with dark purple stamens are produced from June and July over attractive columbine-like foliage.

Perfect for a border in partial shade, the stems need supporting with brushwood or garden canes.
  
  
• Garden care: Divide plants as new growth begins in spring though divisions may be slow to re-establish. In autumn cut back flower stems to the ground.
