A profusion of small white flowers, which take on a pink blush as they mature, appear on the branching stems in mid- to late summer, creating a frothy haze above the low mounds of grey-green foliage. - Garden care: Support using twiggy pea sticks or brush wood before the flowers appear. Cut back to ground level after flowering. Lift and divide large clumps in autumn
