I have fallen in love with this plant ever since I planted it. It adds a wonderful touch to my little rock garden. It also looks great next to my "Hermans Pride" dead nettle. It's the perfect plant to add that exotic highlight to a cold-hardy garden. I look forward to enjoying it for years to come.
