Cottage garden favourite, delightful small plant with blue-green grassy foliage and abundant dainty lilac flowers on tall slender stems. Lovely for ground cover plantings or something unusual for the kitchen garden (the leaves and flowers are edible). Resilient and far tougher than its pretty looks suggest.
