Description: A vigorous hardy perennial that forms a spreading clump of finally toothed feathery dark green leaves, followed by surprisingly lovely, long flowering sprays of pom-pom white blooms in summer.  
 
Prefers full sun to part shade and moist well drained soil.  Spreads readily and I recommend dividing every 3 years to multiply and maintain vigour.  
 
Notes on Cutting: Provides a lovely pure white filler flower.  Deadhead deeply or give a summer ‘haircut’ to encourage repeat flowering. Cut in the cool of the day, and when all flowers on the stem are open and hydrate well.
