The flowers are a vital early nectar source for pollinators emerging from hibernation.This superior selection boasts larger flower heads and sturdier growth than the species, adding bold structure and seasonal drama to borders or sheltered courtyard gardens. As the flowers fade, fresh green foliage emerges, maintaining its elegant presence through the seasons. Ultimate height and spread: 1m (3.2ft) to 1.5m (4.9ft).
