Sheepsbit Plug Plants Jasione montana
Common names include blue daisy and iron flower.
A charming native wildflower that adds splashes of intense sky-blue to wildflower meadows, coastal grasslands, and dry banks. Sheepsbit produces rounded heads of delicate, thistle-like blue flowers from May to September, attracting bees, butterflies, and hoverflies throughout the summer. Its compact habit makes it ideal for poor, sandy soils where other plants may struggle.
Thriving in sunny, well-drained sites, this low-growing perennial is perfect for rockeries, coastal gardens, and species-rich grasslands. A valuable nectar source for pollinators and a delight for naturalistic planting schemes.
Our strong, healthy plug plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to plant directly into their final position.
Sourced from native UK seed and grown locally, these plugs are an easy way to establish this beautiful and wildlife-friendly species in your garden or wild area.
We recommend planting 5 plugs per square metre in informal groups for the best effect.
