Flourishing up to a height of 12-24 inches, this hardy plant spreads 18-36 inches wide, providing excellent coverage in partly shaded areas. Ideal for U.S. hardiness zones 4-8, it's a low-maintenance option that is adept at crowding out weeds, adding a splash of color, and attracting pollinators to woodland gardens and shaded borders.
