“Platts Black” is a low growing, herbaceous perennial commonly used as a groundcover. It features feathery, bronze-black foliage and typically grows to 10 cm tall. It spreads quickly via its root system and will reach 50 cm wide inside of two growing seasons. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is grown on a well-drained site that does not dry out, and in full sun to retain its darker colouring. It will tolerate dry periods, moderate frost, and heavy soils. “Platts Black” is commonly used as an attractive groundcover, particularly where something low growing and vigorous is required. It is perfect for planting along the edge of pathways or between flagstones and pavers.
