Herbaceous Perennial
An erect, woody-based, deciduous perennial, producing stems to 1.2m (4ft) high and a spread of 50cm (20in), with deeply divided, aromatic green leaves. In late summer and autumn, the plants produce sprays of semi-double, white flowers, each with a yellow eye. They are long lasting in water and are ideal to grow for cutting. The plants are only able to tolerate light frost, so are best heavily mulched over winter, or lifted after flowering and kept in cold, but frost-free conditions until spring. The flowers are attractive to pollinating insects and te plants make good additions to a wildlife garden
