The leaf motif of this genus is famous as an ornamental motif among the ancient Greeks. This already reveals that the incised, glossy green leaf is an enormous decorative asset!
The sturdy flower clusters (height 1m) appear in July and display purple-brown bracts with silvery-white labiate flowers. The flower cluster slowly dries out and can gracefully "skeletonize" until winter
