This is a superb roadside plant, usually quite free flowering with, unusually for British plants, a large flower head quite suitable for a garden. It grows on neutral or basic soils most often but you can see it almost anywhere on untouched roadside verges in Great Britain. The flowers are attractive to a wide variety of insects and just as I took this one, a hover fly (I think) came to investigate.
