Fast becoming a florist's favourite, the chartreuse-green flowers, which appear in small clusters above the blue-green foliage, make a fine addition to fresh or dried arrangements. Their colouring enhances the strong purples, pinks and plums, while their airy delicacy adds movement and light. 'Griffithii' was once a common sight in cornfields but is now all but missing from our landscape.


  • Garden care:
    As the seedlings grow, pinch out the tips to encourage bushier plants. Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.


  • Sowing instructions: For early summer flowers, sow seed in trays or pots and keep in a cold frame. When large enough to handle, then them out, potting on the extras and harden off before planting outside. Later sowings can be done in a well-prepared seed bed outside and thinned out until there is approximately 45cm between each plant.
