Excited to add this to the garden
Wanted to find something for a tough growing spot in drier shade. Trust US Perennials to have just the plant! And not only does it have foliage but it should also bloom and help our pollinators. Only a couple of weeks in from planting but it has transplanted well, and showing sings of obvious growth. Need to see how it does in a year before giving 5 stars, although, everything else I have purchased from US Perennials performs well.
