Dense flower spikes emerge from spring into summer, from a mound of ferny foliage. The photo shows a first-year plant, with just an occasional flower. Some resources show much finer-frilled foliage for this species, so I'm not sure of the identity of the ones in our garden; perhaps the plant will change its appearance in its second year.

I was directed here by one of the poster on uk.rec.gardening. There is a plant in my garden I grew from seed. Your picture is great. It does look exactly like it except that I will now have to find a picture with flowers to be certain. |
- Seed from '03 trade. Pot at 65F, 40%G 14-21d. Fast-growing.
Also started in pot set outside in December; seedlings emerged in late March
