    Seldom seen little perennial that should be more widely available! Thin, grass like leaves to 3" are a copper green color…flower stems are 6" tall, dainty and numerous with white flowers in a haze June – Sept. Sun to part shade, well drained soils, nice rock garden or wall plant, edger or small accent, even the bright woodland! Easy to grow and long lived. USDA Z8
