This sun-loving Mediterranean perennial is wonderful for adding height in a mixed border. Its strikingly spherical flower clusters are an intense blue, and highly attractive to bees and other useful pollinators. It makes a great cut flower and can be dried to display in winter arrangements. Flowers June to August. Planting sow under glass February May, or August November for plants the following year. Sow seeds in deep seed trays or modules filled with well-drained seed compost to a depth of 2mm and 3cms apart. Keep warm for germination. Prick out seedlings and grow on in individual pots. Spring-sown plants can be planted when there is no longer a threat of frost, while Autumn-sown plants should be grown on and planted out the following year. Aftercare cut flower stems right back after first flowering, to encourage a late season display. Eventual height & spread 90 30cms.
