Adenostyles (Adenostyles alliariae) is a pretty wildflower that you can find growing at higher altitudes in the grassy woodlands of Southern Europe. You are most likely to spot this plant by its tall-stemmed pink sprays of flowers that bloom in the summer months.
In its native region, white-leaved adenostyle is often a pioneer species, helping to re-vegetate areas after the land has experienced glaciers. This plant is ideally suited to a rock or gravel garden as it grows naturally in mountainous regions.
This plant grows to a height of about 60 cm. The inflorescence consists of dense corymbs hold by hairy peduncles. The small heads are usually composed of 3 to 4 flowers. The receptacle (the part that collects and maintains individual flowers) is naked or hairless. The flowers are of a tubular type and hermaphroditic.
