The main flush comes in early summer; shear the plant lightly afterward and it will flower again in early fall. It is right at home edging a sunny border, in rock gardens and in mixed containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low, dense mound about 8 to 10 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide of grassy foliage.
