Plant Description: This perennial has compact mounds of green foliage. It features bright white flowers with an exceptionally long bloom season. It is a great low maintenance choice for a summer, sunny border or a cutting garden. Cold hardy and drought tolerant once established.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
