Fragile, exuberant, and subtle... This native species is now very rare in the Netherlands, so by growing this plant, you help its population. At 8-30 cm, the wonderfully beautiful, light pink labiate flowers appear. They thrive in moist, but not too poor, soil. The dried fruit looks just like a bat, a skull, or the head of a weasel, hence its English name Weasel’s Snout.
