The reddish purple foliage of this showy perennial is infused with silver (particularly when young), and it forms in a loose mound, which provides excellent ground cover at the front of a border. Then in midsummer, airy sprays of small, rich pink flowers appear, held aloft on slender, pink-stained stems. A relatively compact grower, it also looks great when potted up on the patio. - Garden care: Lift and divide large clumps in early autumn and replant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the crown of the plant in spring.
