Prophet flower

From LoveToKnow Garden

Prophet-flower (Arnebia) - A handsome and distinct perennial, 1 foot to 18 inches high. A. echioides has flowers of a bright primrose-yellow, with five black spots on the corolla, which gradually fade and finally disappear. It is hardy either on the rock garden or in a well-drained border, and prefers partial shade. A native of the Caucasus and Northern Persia, and though long introduced is still among the rarest of hardy flowers. Young plants bloom long, which adds to their charms. Increased by seeds and by root cuttings in winter.
