Slow spreading, graceful, low-growing habit with attractive cascading form. 
Performs best in moist, well-drained soils.
​Does not tolerate clay, dry or poorly drained soils.
Plant close together to form a spectacular ground cover.
Eye-catching focal point, draped over rock walls, in masses under trees or in woodland gardens.
Looks best when planted with contrasting colored companions:
deep green and blue hostas (ie:'June', 'Gold Standard'), Ajuga ('Black Scallop'), Astilbe ('Fanal', 'Montgomery'), purple Heuchera ('Palace Purple'), etc.
