(Consolida regalis) One of our longtime favorites that we've had the pleasure of growing for over 15 years now.

Flowers, like tiny delphiniums, form in sprays instead of one central stem and are Wonderful as a cut, continually re-blooming on the same stem as the spent pods.

Simply put the packet in a plastic bag or glass jar and refrigerate. **All parts of plant are considered poisonous if consumed by humans or livestock** 75 days. UO
