Apparently it is grown on the cliffs of England and Ireland. It did not come with any instructions on how to care for it after it had bloomed i.e. whether or not to snip back the heads etc. I would really appreciated it if anyone could tell me anything on this plant if they had it. Thanks! Karen

It is a hardy herbaceous plant, and will flower each year. Enjoy it. Doreen.
