Succisa pratensis The larval foodplant of the rare Marsh Fritillary, also great nectar for late season butterflies - making a field of purple dots in late August and September, as in this photo taken at Eyarth Rocks reserve.
Notoriously difficult to grow from seed, which has to be sown absolutely fresh and stratified through the winter, so we only offer small plug plants we have grown that way rather than seed, or larger plants propagated by division.
a few single small plants currently available
