Perennial wildflower known from roadsides and meadows. In sunny locations, it blooms all summer long and attracts butterflies and insects.

Can be sown in trays or hobby boxes, in cold frames, or directly outdoors from March onwards. Requires well-loosened soil, and it is advisable to lightly cover the seeds after sowing.

Plants thrive in calcareous soil but also grow well in moist and well-fertilized locations. Transplanting the seeds in trays is recommended.
