This plant brings that magical touch to your gardens, with a color, texture and interest you will find in few other plants. It has the look of a plant that was covered by frost all summer long. It is lovely, unusual, elegant, and stunning. Poachers of fish are said to have made their quarry drunk by feeding them the seeds (so this and Valerian should be in every Fisherman’s tackle box). A concoction from the tissues is supposed to turn your hair as golden as a goddess’s, and a tisane (medicinal herbal tea) has been claimed to cure many ills, from gout to ringworm.
