A monocarpic biennial or sometimes perennial from Central and Southern Europe.

Has toothed, ovate, woolly leaves. Bears white (sometimes with a pale yellow mark on the lip) hooded flowers.

Flowers July-September

Likes a well drained soil in full sun, may appreciate some shade during the hottest part of the day.

Can self seed very freely.
