Suckers like crazy, but they're easy enough to control. Dig up, replant if you want the babies or give them away (I hope propagation isn't prohibited, becuase this thing WANTS to spread!!!), because everybody will want a gorgeous plant like this.

Starting from nothing in March, it grows to resemble a big, loose shrub that many people have mistaken for a fern (in full sun?). Last year it went floppy, so I stuck a tomato cage over it in March and this year it is growing nicely into a graceful shape (it is now May and it mostly fills the cage).

Attracts beneficial insects, and the foliage fairly glows - it's the last thing I can see in my garden before the sun sets. Gorgeous as a backdrop for showier flowers in home-picked bouquets. The flowers aren't much, but tiny bugs love them.

This is definitely one of the plants I could not live without. Its beauty takes my breath away in my garden almost every single day.

This is one of my favorite plants. It brightens any garden with a soft ferny texture and the small white daisy like flowers in summer are an extra bonus. It looks great with coneflower, catmint, and purple salvia but I like it best next to yarrow coronation gold.
