Neutral	tcs1366	On Nov 16, 2007, tcs1366 from Itasca,IL&Lk Delton, WI (Zone 5a) wrote: I found the rabbits just love to eat these when small. The ones that matured are quite large. Height was about 4-6" but the spread was closer to 24-30". Gorgeous flowers. Will try to grow then again next year. Makes a nice ground cover.
