Details
This heirloom produces graceful waves of honey-scented lacy white blooms. The dense clusters of tiny flowers bloom continuously throughout the growing season if the spent blossoms are trimmed back. Perfect for borders, in rock gardens and containers. It makes a great temporary groundcover and is an excellent addition to a butterfly or seaside garden.
