Rating for this plant:
I have only owned this plant for a couple of years. It is spreading very slowly. It is useful as a edge plant in shady areas. Can tlerate drought well, once established. Can grow under trees. I suspect I will find this a very useful plant once it spreads more.

I like this opinion
