Description

One of my favourite wildflowers which is definitely garden worthy for introducing (as plugs) into your lawn, in dappled shade under shrubs, trees and in the base of hedges.

I love it cut and arranged on its own, or in a jumble of wild flowers such as wild carrot, foxgloves and ragged robin. It flowers on and off for months.

Care Tips

Once introduced to the ideal location, plants will self-seed freely and establish a strong colony.
