Product Description

An eye-catching upright perennial that produces deep crimson thistle flower heads upon a sturdy green stem above spiky deciduous foliage. A great addition for gardeners looking to create a cottage-garden theme that can be planted alongside contrasting colours to create more of a feature. These beautiful flowers are fantastic for attracting bees and butterflies into the garden where they will thrive in well-drained, fertile soil in borders or patio containers for those with less space. Reaching a mature height of 1.2m, they flower from July to August, where they prefer sunny locations. 9cm pot plants supplied.
