| Catananche
Common name: Cupid's Dart. Excellent, long-flowering plants for sunny, well-drained soils - even dry soils. Silver-green leaves and masses of flowers opening from silver, papery buds. Dead head regularly and cut back hard at the end of the season. Propagate from seed or root cuttings; doesn't really like being divided. Trouble free, hardy in well-drained soils and easy to grow. Best in full sun. The common name comes from the historic use of the plant as an aphrodisiac (NB Catananche may be poisonous). |
