A versatile and beautiful little plant with frothy, lime-green flowers in early summer and green scalloped leaves which catch droplets of water after a shower. It tolerates a range of adverse conditions including heavy clay and, once established, is drought tolerant. If not deadheaded it will self-seed freely.
