    Thanks so much everyone!
    I had never heard of it, nor seen it, but it is so lovely that I may have to find a spot for a few.
    Looks lovely in a swathe as it is in this cottage I’m staying in.

    @dappledshade It is important that you don't plant then too deeply. I grow a tiny one called S biscutella looks good in gravel.

    My favourite hybrid is Sisyrinchium palmifolium, which we used to have in our previous garden. It's commonly known as the Bird-of-Paradise Sisyrinchium. The flowers close when it's cloudy.

    By not deep, do you mean like paeonies?
