This wildflower is grown mainly for its attractive mound of foliage. The leaves have varying degrees of silver and reddish markings. Small greenish flowers are produced on slender stalks that stand above the foliage. It grows in tight clumps that are suitable for a formal garden or a natural area. It can be massed as a groundcover or grown singly as an accent. It is a excellent container plant. Bees visit the flowers, including some specialist bees. Deer sometimes browse on the flower spikes.
