Growing in a field in Sicily
« on: April 13, 2019, 08:08:46 PM »
Hello! Can anyone tell me what this stunning plant is please? It was in a field in Sicily amongst long grasses and other flowers. The flowerheads approx 4-6 inches high. I loved it and would try to grow it perhaps! Looks like a lupin or clover relative or something? Sulla coronaria? And whatever it is.... does anyone grow these things? (there were also massed displays of what I think must have been Calendula suffruticosa too, which I also cannot determine whether seed is sold to cultivation).

Hedysarum coronarium I think.
