Reaching a compact height of around 25–30cm, it spreads slowly via shallow rhizomes to create a dense, colorful ground cover that looks particularly effective when planted in drifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is highly versatile, thriving in waterlogged soils, bog gardens, or even submerged at the shallow edges of a garden pond up to 10cm deep, though it is equally happy in standard containers provided the soil is never allowed to dry out. When crushed, the aromatic foliage releases a sweet, pleasant herbal scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarnsdale tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e To keep the plant looking immaculate, rake through the foliage with your gloved fingers in early spring to pull away any old, browned winter leaves.
