Nursery contributed plant descriptions

18-24” mounds of bright lemon lime leaves…frothy lavender flowers float above the stems in early summer. Wandering rootstock thrives in difficult areas, even dry shade. Where wandering is a problem, plant in a container. Happiest in morning sun or light shade, most soils, at its lush best with some summer water. Tough, long lived foliage plant. USDA Z6
