You can find this easy-growing wildling in the toughest spots in the wild, for example, along quays or on walls... The plants produce many graceful flower stalks 60 cm high, with grey-green leaves and clusters of purple-blue to lilac-pink snapdragon-like flowers (but much smaller) at their tips. Let the plants flower and self-seed; next year you'll have a whole field full again!
