Insights
Being extremely vigorous and prolific, its attractive blooms are excellent for using in cut flower arrangements. In seasonal arrangements it provides the perfect foil for other indigenous flowers, for example the lime green froth of Alchemilla Mollis; it can also be dried and stored for decorative use in winter.
