This beautiful, old ornamental plant from the Mediterranean belongs to the cruciferous family and has been popular in gardens as an ornamental and medicinal plant since the Middle Ages. The biennial shrub with magnificent large flowers in bright orange is easy to propagate and thrives well in sunny locations. Perfect for rock gardens, dry stone walls, beds and borders. Pollination by bees and bumblebees ensures a colorful variety and the poisonous cardiac glycosides deter pests.
