About this plant
A plant that's rarely seen but which is useful in the herbaceous garden. It presents a stolid appearance in its solid but unobtrusive foliage clump of big, smooth leaves with rounded ends that are a shiny green. In late summer it puts out a great spray of frothy, soft-lilac flowers that look very similar to gypsophila. It's like the transformation of an ugly duckling.

Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
