A popular, late summer border plant. Its unique flowers have long been a mainstay of herbaceous borders, providing long-lasting displays. Modern plant breeding means this perennial favourite is available in a wider range of colours, while the plants all have attractive, ferny foliage.

Easy to grow and manage, you can sow seed direct in moist but well drained soil in an open site in full sun, although most will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions.
