A great plant for moist shade, it carpets the ground with loose mounds of deeply lobed, reddish-brown foliage. This provides a great backdrop for the pale lavender pink flowers which appear in late spring and early summer. Perfect for softening the edges of a path or the front of a border, they will flower best in a sunnier spot. - Garden care: In midsummer rejuvenate plants that are beginning to look jaded, by removing old flowered stems and leaves. Lift and divide large colonies in spring.
