Additional Notes

It blooms in late spring. Hardy to Zone 3, it is drought and heat tolerant once established. An outstanding choice for small gardens, borders, foundation plantings, mass plantings, and as a contrast plant where clear chartreuse foliage, white blooms, reddish seed capsules, and compact performance are desired.
