This plant may be short on stature, but it's big on impact! That's because it produces a profusion of greenish white flowers in dome-shaped clusters, which top the ends of the stems for several months from midsummer. A natural for the patio, it can also be planted towards the front of the border, where it will flower its (little) socks off.
