- The deeply lobed green foliage forms a tidy compact clump at the base of the plant.

Very suitable to any cottage garden, mixed borders, raised beds, coastal and Mediterranean-style gardens, rockeries, and naturalistic planting schemes. The flowers work well in arrangements too.

- The flat, pincushion flower heads make a great landing platform for butterflies, bees, hoverflies and other beneficial pollinators.
