Cultivation & Care

• Spacing:
  20–30 cm (8–12 inches) apart to form a dense groundcover mat.

• Watering & Fertilization:
  Water regularly during establishment. Feed lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.

• Mulching & Pruning:
  Apply mulch in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Trim back or mow in early spring to encourage fresh growth.

  Easily propagated by division or from stem cuttings. Division is best done in spring or autumn.

Seasonal Interest

  Produces short spikes of small, fragrant white flowers above the foliage.

  Ideal for shade gardens, underplanting trees and shrubs, low-maintenance groundcover, and erosion control on slopes.

• Companion Plants:
  Pairs well with ferns, Hostas, Heuchera, Brunnera, Pulmonaria, and spring bulbs like snowdrops and crocuses.
