Re: succisa pratense

See..... another plant plugged into your garden by the native plant mffia.
Must have been Heilien Tonkers of  'De Heliant' a nursery in the north of
our country. Heilien is one of my favorite coleagues! And this is her
favorite plant. Can you anything but love the plant she gave it to me and I
love to think of her when I see it.

Any chance you have passed Helien's stand at Bingerden plant show or
another show, or ever been to her nursery?

Look it op in: Heukels Flora, you'll find it in the library in your town.
If you need more help email me privately.

For the list: it looks a lot like  and is realted to Knautia arvensis.

You should be able to grow it from seed as the most apr. way for this species.

Kind regards, Roger Bastin
