Pollinators love the flowers, while birds and squirrels love the seed. Grows to 1.4m tall in full sun and a moist but well-drained soil. The creamy green-coloured flowers are produced from July to October.
We provide each plant with a copper collar to help keep the snails at bay. As the plant grows the collar will ping open and we recommend joining it back up so the ends of the copper are touching to keep protecting your plant.
