A very distinctive and charming masterwort with soft pink pincushion flowers in summer above lush green lobed foliage. It thrives in a moist position and brings a true flavour of an old cottage garden style to the garden. To maintain vigour, lift and divide plants every three years, replanting strong pieces into enriched soil. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
