Non-stoloniferous rosettes of leaves. In late spring, the rosette rises like a small pyramid and bears pale blue flowers surpassed by decorative bracts. Differs from the species by its curious crisped foliage like bronze parsley, with metallic reflections.

Planting and care

Well-drained soil, stony but remaining moist and free of limestone. Cultivation is more challenging than it appears. Better withstands drought than others. Good perennial plants, very hardy, often stoloniferous, some of which quickly form beautiful dense carpets in shade or cool semi-shade, in a humus-rich soil, even clayey. Not demanding on soil type, they do not tolerate prolonged drought well.
