I'd grow this plant for the foliage alone but just look at those flowers!
A sunny spot suits it best and it grows a couple of feet tall with the same spread. Earlier this spring, I acquired a double-flowered form and there is a flower bud forming on it - watch this space

I have to agree with you Andrew - I fell in love with this plant at Dundee Botanics before it was in flower - just the foliage and the buds - just thought it was so beautiful - I had to lie on the grass and soak in its beauty (no doubt passers by thought I was mad) - and I knew that I had to have one, which I got from Binny Plants in February 2007 - just a small amount of foliage last year, a larger amount of lovely foliage has opened out this year and I am just so looking forward to the year that it chooses to flower. I have yet to see P. Tenuifolium in flower - keep arriving at the wrong time at Dundee Botanics. Not sure I would like the double form - always thinking about what is friendly to bees, but looking forward to seeing your pictures. Hope the open day goes well.
