I really love this plant., it just was given to me as a seedling by one of my gardening neighbours, Pat, when I moved in. It is at least a biannual, if not perennial, though it happily self seeds around the place. It grows to a couple of feet high, has feathery leaves and delicate cup shaped flowers with 5 white petals and pink stamen. The petals are like those of a buttercup in shape but much bigger, perhaps 2 inches across if flattened out. It flowers in late summer / early autumn.
Each year I shake the seed heads around the place to be sure that I get some more next year.
