It is significantly more compact than traditional varieties, forming a tidy, grassy mound that won't flop or look unruly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an exceptional performer for patio containers or rockeries, where it blooms continuously from early summer right through to the first frosts. Its nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees and, despite its small stature, it makes a robust and colourful cut flower for small posies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarnsdale tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Like all pokers, this variety hates having \"wet feet\" in winter. To protect the crown, gather the grassy foliage up in late autumn and tie it loosely together with twine to form a protective tent over the centre of the plant, then cut it all back in spring once the new growth appears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJune-October flowering. Drought tolerant. Grows best in full sun in any well-drained soil.
