Uses
Ideal for layered mass planting or specimen planting in garden beds and borders. A good choice for landscapes with limited space. An excellent container plant. A great alternative for shrubs, liriope and groundcovers. Thrives well in full sun to part shade. Performs well in heavy clay or sandy soils.
