This is great to grow with grasses ..it looks good in a more natural or cottage garden..It grows rather untidy.. Flowers appear whole summer and do very well in a vase. The spent flowers can also be used in dried arrangements.

This self-sowing perennial blooms the first year from seed if started early indoors. It's easy to grow, and it looks good with other wildflowers and ornamental grasses.
