Heracleum sphondylium 'Pink Cloud'

Heracleum sphondylium 'Pink Cloud' is an elegant selection of the native hogweed, producing large, airy umbels of soft pink flowers held above bold, deeply divided foliage through summer. The broad flower heads seem to float above neighbouring plants, bringing a naturalistic, meadow-like character to borders and larger plantings. Unlike the giant Heracleum species, this form is more manageable in size while still delivering impressive presence. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to beneficial insects, including hoverflies, bees, and predatory wasps, making it one of the most valuable wildlife plants in the garden.

Growing conditions:
• Full sun to part shade
• Moist, fertile soil
• Frost hardy
Uses:
• Naturalistic and meadow-style plantings
• Wildlife gardens
