| Description: | Attractive foliage spreads to form a low groundcover. Covered with small starry white blooms in Spring. Showy and beautiful in spring, but may melt out in summer heat. Great with 'Ferns' for foliage and height contrast, 'Heuchera 'Obsidian'' for color contrast, 'Carex 'Evergold' for texture contrast or 'Lungwort'. Do not plant near 'Hostas', as it may transmit a disease (Southern Blight) that is devastating to Hostas, but not to Sweet Woodruff. |
