Description
A beautiful plant with shiny, dark green, strappy leaves that spreads slowly, has sterile flowers and therefore does not become a weed through seeds. Lovely lavender-colored flower balls open in June-July and there are many of them. Height 45cm. Drought-resistant. In autumn, the foliage turns yellow and the brownish-red flower stalks stand out especially well, which can be left uncut for the winter. Edible leaves with a pleasant mild taste.
