Description
Ornamental perennial herbaceous, evergreen and rhizomatous. Its ground cover makes it suitable for creating dense ground cover dotted with numerous small, elegant flowers in the spring and summer; it is also suitable for hanging baskets and tubs where its hanging habitus creates highly decorative results. It tolerates low temperatures well, preferring exposures in half-shade in cool, well-draining soil.
