About this plant
Handsome foliage with good-sized intriguingly lobed leaves. These are coloured pale green with an irregular creamy yellow edge. These are an interesting feature in spring. In summer there are slender stems that carry small scabious flowers that are coloured a dark and appealing shade of red. They incorporate longer outer petals and smaller inner ones. This plant is said to have a preference for neutral soil, so best to avoid extremes of acid or alkaline.
