For the first three years I did exactly nothing and the plants were lovely. Finally last year I gave them a haircut, and that's it for work. Gorgeous through drought, two Noah's Ark Junes in a row, whatever. That's what I call maintenance-free.

Goldmound or similar cultivars now seems to be in every Seattle garden or landscape. And why not? It looks pretty all year, with lovely changes in leaf color from pink to yellow to chartreuse to gold. Maintenance is minimal--an annual light pruning and fertilizing, and it is highly adaptable from sun to part shade, moderate to low water. Doesn't seem to be invasive.
