This is supposed to have mounds of feathery silver-green finely haired foliage, with spikes of blue flowers in summer. And it starts off promising enough in our garden, with a neat tuft of feathery leaves - but it proceeds to do nothing in the way of blooming, and gets progressively rattier as the season wears on. Not sure what we're doing wrong - please let me know if you have any suggestions.

| sabinski | Nov 12, 2005 | working in a botanical garden near basel (switzerland), a collegue has s. juriscii planted outside for a few years. this summer i planted two of them in 'my' part of the garden, too. it seems to grow well in spite of being quite attractive to snails. we have a very alkaloid soil and warm summers here... |
| Joseph | Apr 10, 2006 | I have quite a few seedlings coming along of this species. The seedling produces a nice carrot-like root, and I look forward to seeing what it does here. I will have to get the slug bait out based on sabinski's comments regarding snail predation. I am pleased it will survive my winters here in Delaware. |
