Compact, bushy and flowery, this is one of my favourite repeat plants cascading out of the front of a border, or along the edge of a path.
It plays the same role as nepetas and alchemilla, but flowers for at least twice as long.

My daughter had a woodland wedding in June 2019. As an avid gardener I decided to provide as many flowers as possible, and grow individual herbs for each place setting. Sarah's information about flowering times on each item was invaluable |
