Succisa Pratensis

Distinctive, dark violet-blue flowers, in pincushion form, are carried on tall stems arising from a rosette of leaves at ground level, and are on show from June until October. This attractive plant will thrive in moist soil in a sunny or partially shaded position, and is perhaps an addition for your bog garden? Butterflies, bees and hoverflies are all frequent visitors on this clump, which will spread over time.
