Short delay - awaiting stock




This striking perennial forms a bushy mound of velvety, sage-like leaves, rising to approximately 90 cm in height and spreading up to 60 cm. From late spring to early autumn, it produces whorls of hooded, pale yellow flowers atop sturdy, square stems. These blooms add a touch of architectural elegance to any garden setting.
Preferring full sun and well-drained soils, this plant is well-suited to coastal gardens, gravel beds, and wildlife-friendly spaces. Its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils make it a resilient addition to various garden types, including cottage and informal gardens.
Beyond its ornamental value, this plant attracts pollinators, supporting biodiversity in the garden. Its long flowering period ensures continuous interest, while the unique seed heads provide winter interest when left in place.
Ideal for planting in autumn or spring, it offers versatility and beauty, enhancing borders and beds with its summer blooms and providing structure and interest throughout the year.
