Such a delightful scent is unexpected from a plant: like sweet apples with a hint of pineapple! The entire plant exudes it when you brush past it. The soft yellow drumstick-shaped flowers appear at 30-40 cm high amidst lance-shaped, fresh green leaves. When sown early, the plant produces these spherical flowers in the same year and is often grown as an annual. Some winter protection (and not too wet) is recommended during severe frost.

Latin: Cephalophora aromatica
