This pretty plant produces a basal rosette of narrow, grey-green leaves, above which wiry stems rise in summer, topped with white flowers with violet-blue eyes. The papery seedheads are very attractive and are useful for dried flower arrangements. | ||||||||||||
Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
Sow under glass in spring or autumn on the surface of moist, free-draining compost, covering with a fine sprinkling of compost or fine vermiculite. Transplant seedlings into individual posts or modules and grow on (plants from autumn sowings are best kept in a cold frame over winter), planting out in full sun in the spring, in any reasonable, well-drained soil. |
