Ideal For: Sunny borders, water-wise gardens, cottage-style plantings, companion plantings with blue-flowering perennials

Evergreen: No

Why We Love It:
This easy-care perennial brings a long season of bright, cheerful blooms to sunny gardens with very little maintenance required. Its relaxed, softly mounding habit and fine-textured foliage blend naturally with ornamental grasses and other xeric perennials, while the creamy white flowers help brighten borders and soften stronger flower colors nearby. Tough, adaptable, and drought tolerant once established, it performs beautifully in lean soils and hot summer conditions.

Additional Info:
Thrives in low-fertility, sharply drained soils and generally performs better without excessive fertilizer or irrigation. Pinching plants in spring encourages a fuller, sturdier habit, while occasional deadheading helps extend bloom through the season. Excellent for naturalistic plantings, cottage gardens, and low-water perennial borders.
