Blooming from early to mid-summer, the blossoms rise well above the compact foliage mound of fern-like, deep green leaves. Once the flowers are less prominent, the handsome foliage takes over, extending the visual appeal through fall. A perfect plant for a shady corner of the garden and the best Goat's Beard for the southern states.
