Jasione

Jasione - Sheep's Bit

Jasione is a genus of plants that like sunshine and a dry spot. In Europe we know the species 'montana' as a wild flower in sandy areas. If the soil is too rich it will produce weak plants that will not survive the winter. Jasione is ideal in the rockery where too much water can drain away freely. Also in a pot on the terrace Jasione will look good. Combining with Santolina, Thymus, Potentilla and Silene are nice options.
