Pretty variation on this cottage garden favorite, palest lilac flowers shading to soft purple in the centre. The clusters of flowers show themselves off on long slender stems above very fine grassy foliage, easy to blend into a mixed flowering border or use them to edge a vegetable garden (they're edible!)
