Description

Indispensable perennials for compact, heavy, wet and marshy soils. They are very cold-resistant, never get sick and live for a long time. In addition to flowering, the divided foliage is often decorative, although it disappears in winter.

Large, glaucous leaves divided into 2 parts, with ovate and toothed leaflets and loose whitish-green flower spikes. Very hardy.
