This plant is a great filler for gardens. Mine has reseeded itself prodigiously all through my garden. My husband refers to it as a weed.

This plant is a low grower, does spread nicely making a satisfactory groundcover. It is covered with numerous pale pink blossoms from mid June to early July here in the north country. It does however gets a little ratty looking in late summer, in which case a good shearing can do it good.
