Loved by designers and florists alike, and it is easy to see why! Grown as a biennial the fluffy lime-green pom pom heads stand proud on the long, bright green stems, adding texture and shape over a long period to a sunny planting scheme. Stylish and simple these 'flowers' look fabulous in a cottage garden or a formal contemporary setting. Plant in groups with bright orange and purple flowers for an eyecatching display, or with shades of blues for a cooler theme. Furthermore they are long lasting as cut flowers in the home. - Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and deadhead to prolong flowering.
