Insights
Perfectly positioned in the middle of the border, it floats above lower growing plants, and it also looks out of this world against a wall, or shimmering above a dark hedge. It is easy to grow and suits both informal and formal gardens. A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden.
