Textured and bright foliage, the plants form a mound of rounded, velvety soft olive-green leaves, which catch and hold water drops and sparkle in the sun. Makes for good edging shrub and sprays of chartreuse flowers are a nice filler for cut arrangements. An easy-care perennial.
Plants should be sheared back after blooming to rejuvenate the leaves and generally tidy the clumps up for the remainder of the growing season. May be divided in spring or early fall. Often self seeds around the garden.
