Culture Notes
A low maintenance ground cover that is commonly grown under trees because of its drought resistance. Plants should be gently divided in early spring. Hard-to-find pink and double forms exist. All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested. However, its flowers have become a traditional part of a bridal bouquet, and the leaves can be used to make pale greenish-yellow or gold dye.
