Description
This is a very attractive wildflower which is commonly found in dry grassy places throughout the country, blooming from July to late September. It is a tall perennial which has pretty, flattish heads of blue-lilac flowers (30-40mm) which are borne on branched, wiry, purple-spotted stems. The outer flowers are larger than the inner ones and the stamens add to the beauty of the plant by standing upright, making the flower look like a blue pin-cushion. The lower leaves are pinnately lobed, the upper being smaller and less divided. This is a native plant belonging to the family Dipsacaceae.
