Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A remarkable plant in flower with numerous wands of starry white flowers in summer. This appreciates a partly sunny position or light shade and does great in reasonably moist soil but we've heard anecdotally that it performs fine in drier shade. Not the hardiest but we've never lost it here especially since we get some self-sown seedlings. Mulch if you are worried.
