Overview

Exceptionally long, green-tipped, white bracts that are often incurved in the middle and raggedly toothed towards the ends, surround umbels of greenish white flowers, creating larger than average flower heads. 'Shaggy' often freely self-seeds (if the faded flowers are not removed), although the seedlings rarely come true to type.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: fertile, moist, preferably humus-rich soil
  • Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
  • Flowering period: June to August
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

Care guide

Incorporate plenty of organic matter and mycorrhizal fungi when planting. Water well in dry weather, especially newly established plants. Once established, lift and divide large clumps in early spring and apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the plant. Divided specimens may take some time to establish since they don't like having their roots disturbed.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
