Remove the flowers as they fade to prolong the flowering period, but leave some to develop seed heads for lovely winter decorations.
These bee-friendly flowers can take a while to become established, but they’re worth the wait! Once settled in, they’re resistant to drought, so they are a fantastic option for a dry, sunny location. Our eco-friendly perennials are grown without chemicals, so they’re the perfect way to add to the biodiversity of a herbaceous border.
