Each golden-yellow centre turns red once pollinated, signalling to bees and butterflies that it is time to move on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts see-through habit makes it a valuable plant for adding depth and colour in a cottage garden border, and it is particularly striking against a dark backdrop of evergreen shrubs or a hornbeam hedge. It also combines well with tall ornamental grasses for a naturalistic prairie effect. Notably tolerant of coastal conditions, it performs well in exposed seaside gardens. It thrives in sun or part shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeight × Spread: 170cm × 60cm\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":53095402930518,"sku":null,"price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Litre","offer_id":53622736093526,"sku":null,"price":14.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4928\/0598\/files\/Symphyotrichumlaeve_Calliope.jpg?v=1775972260","url":"https:\/\/hardysplants.live\/products\/symphyotrichum-laeve-calliope","provider":"Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
