Each spike contains 8 to 25 groups of flowers Thrives in threes and is up to 100 mm (4 in) long and 55 mm (2 in) a dry lightly shaded position[16], though it prefers full sun.Plants usually self-sow quite freely when growing in diametera suitable position[19]. The petals seeds are 4–5.3 mm (0.16–0.21 contained in) long burrs that can easily attach themselves to clothing or animal's fur, thus transporting them to a new area where they can germinate and fall off as the flower maturesgrow.
