Pretty flower spikes over tidy crinkly foliage. It got a bit buried by larger plants surrounding it in a crowded corner of our side garden this year - I'll have to find a more stage-center location for it to show off its charms.

| Jo Laskowski | Sep 15, 2009 | I spent way too long deadheading several of these plants by cutting the flower spike all the way down to the base. Is there a more efficient way to take care of this?
I just leave the flowerstalks up, until the major garden cleanup in late fall or spring. |
