The Story
This is a popular ornamental plant, widely cultivated for its abundant, fragrant flowers in spring. Many cultivars have been developed, in s of yellow, orange, red, maroon, purple, brown, white and cream. It associates well in bedding schemes with other spring flowers such as tulips and forget-me-nots.
This is a herbaceous perennial with one or more highly branching stems. Plants can reach 15-80 cm (6-31 in), though are more often seen at the 12"/30cm height. Plants can be pruned if desired. The leaves are generally narrow and pointed and may be up to 20 cm (8 in) long. The plant produces strongly scented flowers!
One cultivar, 'Chelsea Jacket', is a winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Other varieties such as 'Blood Red Covent Garden' are easy to grow and often benefit from being sown and left to their own devices, growing on patches of empty land with little effort required to maintain them, providing aesthetically sound blooms which produce strong scents.
