Annual Biennial
A native, annual wildflower, found throughout the British Isles but favouring the west and north. Slender upright stems to about 50cm carry narrow, pointed leaves that are food for the caterpillars of the heath fritillary butterfly. Narrow, tubular, yellow flowers are carried in widely spaced pairs on the upper half of the stem from late spring to early autumn, peaking in summer, and providing nectar for bees and food for caterpillars of the lead-coloured pug moth
