Plants are dispatched in growing condition and may not be in full flower. If too tall to pack safely, we may cut them back — this helps them establish more quickly. Read our Mail Order FAQs.
In summer V. 'Gainsborough' produces elegant spires of sublime lemon yellow flowers with orange stamens, which rise from a basal rosette of soft hirsute grey-green leaves.
Full sun and well-drained soils are the requirements for this classic cottage garden plant. It thrives in exposed conditions such as coastal areas. When the flower spikes start to fade remove them to the base of the plant to encourage a second flush of flower. Support may be needed in very exposed areas.
