Elegant from top to toe, a tall airy bouquet high above surrounding plants on 1.5m stalks with hundreds of small greenish-yellow scabious-like flowers carried on many branching stems standing above a base of dark green, deeply divided leaves. Would be lovely in a meadow garden, in retentive soil. Still attractive in Oct., when each branched head carries round scaly seed cases, making good profiles in autumn or winter sunlight.
Synonym Cephalaria dipsacoides.
