Shimmering plum-purple foliage with metallic silver highlights creates a tight mound and excellent contrast for its sprays of tiny white flowers and for variegated, silver and golden foliage plants. Ideal in rock gardens or mixed containers in bright to dappled shade. Evergreen in mild winter areas; an herbaceous perennial in colder regions.
