Plant details
An exotic-looking biennial which has shiny green, much-divided leaves, the upper ones of which are modified to form much-inflated purplish sheaths. The rather large, dark crimson-purple florets form distinctive, tight heads which, whilst being undeniably umbelliferous, are to a greater or lesser extent spherical in shape supported handsomely on their strong stems. These give colour to the border from June to early September and make splendid and unusual cut flowers. As a biennial, plants will naturally fade away after setting seed. For a continuing display, sow seeds in spring for flowers the following year.
