Tell Me More...
Distinctly sculptured foliage displays curiously attractive flowers in summer. Extra thick outer leaf layers cut down water loss helping them to flower whilst others may frazzle. The Georgians collected the roots and cooked them in the same way as we might asparagus, but it was their reputed aphrodisiac properties that really got our ancestors going. A wonderful plant to add texture to your borders. Stunning as cut or dried flowers. Rabbit resistant but attractive to bees and butterflies. Drought tolerant, preferring well-drained soil in sun. Fully hardy perennial
