These are a lovely purple colour with the leaves being almost blue. They were a big hit with the bees last spring/summer and I was very happy to see them self-seed. I moved some of the seedlings around the garden and they've taken well. Really easy to grow.

This is querky looking plant with its cool blue leaves and purple bracts. It is quite floppy and needed a bit of twiggy support. However, and most important, the bumblebees loved it!! I grew it satisfactorily in a pot as well as in the ground. A special bonus is that it seeds itself - easy to see! It does need sun, a bit of a problem for me in a Perthshire (lowland) where warmth can be a problem

Excellent germination from these seeds. Now they've happily self seeded for next year. Bees and butterflies love them.
