Very large, low furry grey scalloped leaves start to grow at the end of winter. In early spring, many decorative flower spikes develop and open with plentiful whorls of lavender flowers ornately marked deep purple and gold. Best in sun or part shade, it will thrive even in poor soils.
When flowering is finished cut down the stems, clean away old leaves, tidy the clump, feed and mulch around the base to keep the roots and crown cool until it begins to grow again during winter. Over summer it will need very little moisture, just some protection from direct radiation.
Self seeding in gravel. It is native to dry, rocky slopes in Iran, Iraq, Israel and Turkey. It is cold hardy for brief periods down to -7 Celsius.

These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
