This plant is wonderful for sharing. Not too evasive here in central New York. Can be tamed with just a shovel and transplants beautifully. Very cheerful in the bed.

Fantastic, long-lasting flower. Plants make a dense mat which can be transplanted by the shovelful. Loves the sun and doesn't need much water here in the Pacific Northwest. A very rewarding plant in the garden.
