Asphodeline lutea

Asphodeline lutea (ass-foe-de-line) is a hardy perennial, Z7, from the mountains of Southern Europe. It has evergreen, strappy leaves and the flower stems grow to 1.3m bearing numerous pale yellow flowers in early summer. Asphodel of mythology was the undying flower that grew in the Elysian fields, so that’ll be useful.
