A small herb with feathered foliage and bright star-shaped, purple flowers. A beautiful, plant for the cottage garden and perennial border, flowering from spring through to autumn – flowering may pause during the hottest summer months..
Found growing naturally among granite outcrops in our region, where it has good drainage and frost protection. In the home garden plant in rockeries or slightly raised garden beds. It will be severely knocked back by frosts in winter but if you are lucky, low buds may survive and resprout when the weather warms. If frosts are severe on your block, treat as an annual and plant out after frosts pass in spring. Caution when weeding around this one as broken stems exude a white sap that causes skin and eye irritation.
