This plant forms a low mound of green leaves which are shaped somewhat like a fern.
In late spring it produces a lovely display of single deep-rose, carmine red , long-stemmed open flowers with a pale-yellow centre in profusion. It does not need any special attention. The flowers produce attractive fluffy seedheads after they have finished blooming which add interest to the garden in winter.
This plant flowers best in full sun on rich, well-drained soil. It’s a good choice for a rock garden, a mixed border, or the edge of a woodland. It is drought tolerant, and resistant to rabbits. Butterflies are attracted to it. It makes an excellent container plant.

Sowing advice
Sow under glass 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or outdoors in spring or autumn in moist seed raising mix. Cover the seed very lightly with soil and keep moist. Optimum germination temperature 20 deg C. Germination takes 28-35 days.
