During summer, bright yellow, star-shaped flowers contrast nicely against the foliage and are a favorite of short-tongue bees! Though not an aggressive spreader, this plant will slowly spread to form colonies while outcompeting weeds. A great choice to use as a lawn alternative, green mulch beneath trees, erosion control, in garden borders, rain gardens and pollinator meadows. Tolerant of a wide variety of growing conditions and resistant to disease, pests, drought and deer.
