- Product number: 595510
- Origin: Western Europe

This Western European, wild (=native) plant is more than worth growing, due to its easy growth, cheerful flowering and long vase life as a cut flower! The snapdragon-like flowers face upwards in a cluster. The colour is lemon yellow with a dark yellow lip. The height depends greatly on the soil type and planting density: 15-90 cm high. Very popular with bees or other beneficial insects. They grow in all soil types and can even tolerate some shade. Pick a meal of young shoots (beautiful fine leaves) and stir-fry them briefly: a delicacy! Many medicinal properties of this plant are known, just check the internet...
