Insights
Excellent when planted in drifts, Feathertop is also effective as an informal hedge. It self-seeds, so remove the flowers early to prevent this if necessary. As it is a fairly undistinguished plant until the flowers appear, try underplanting with spring bulbs. A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden.
