Plant details
A charming, well-behaved and informal wildflower. The single lilac-pink flowers are softly coloured and dainty, clustered at the top of compact plants 20cm (8in) tall when the flower stems reach full height. Delightful grown in moist to damp areas along with other early moisture-loving wildflowers such as oxlips, small species daffodils or primroses (including coloured cultivated kinds), Primula rosea and pulmonaria. This creates a very attractive naturalistic spring display. It will also naturalise well in areas of longer grass.
