This is a striking plant with rosettes of sparsely-felted, semi-evergreen foliage in winter which, in summer, have tall upright spikes of flower growing from the centre of each. These are studded with lots of single, wide-open white flowers, each having a mauve centre. The plants associate well with other summer flowers such as delphiniums, but also look very good grown among roses.
