Description
(Fessia)
Sometimes confused with S. greilhuberi but this is altogether a better garden plant. It is far less ‘leafy’ and does not start leafing up until spring, when pristine, new foliage sits below spikes of quite large, pendulous, reflexed blooms of light indigo.
A native of Caspian woodlands in Iran but happy here and, I suspect, with you, in a light well-drained soil with some humus matter if you can.
