Description

 

This plant has lovely light airy  panicles of tiny blue flowers  surrounded by  more prominent white calices up to 90cm. It makes an excellent cut flower, as a light frothy filler for bouquets, but is a very good garden plant as well.  It flowers in its first year from seed, about 5 months from germination, and will eventually form a round green-grey  leaved clump.
