A clumping perennial with a woody base and very appealing deep reddish blue-green foliage on green tinged purple stems. Very showy big clusters of lime green flowers in spring. They prefer growing in well drained soil in an open position, not crowded by other plants. Wonderful for providing texture and interest to the garden. Hardy.
