General Information
We offer many forms of this wonderful flower. Some flowers form a delicate star of outer petals surrounding an inner ring with yellow centers - some have long spurs that project out behind the blossoms - others are spur-less with double blossoms. All are graceful, with blue-green foliage, at home in formal or cottage settings, with its flowers at the center of attention. A wealth of flowers in sun or shade. All self sow without being annoying, and will yield interesting hybrids if others are close by to cross pollinate.

Plant Care
Little care needed. Leave fall basal growth to over-winter.
