I like it because it is truly perennial and actually spreads in my garden by seed. About the geraniums; after they bloom they tend to be very rangy and ratty looking so I cut them back knowing that they will quickly regrow into an attractive tuft. The tuft is much smaller than the blooming plant so there is a lot of space around it and that is why I asked. I certainly wish we had the selection of geraniums that you do. They are wonderful !

I'm quite taken, particularly as it is yellow and not pink (got enough of those at the moment!). I might give it a try. BTW - You were asking about my Geraniums. Most of them don't die back until winter and by then I don't mind an empty space. Attention then switches to spring bulbs.I'm not really a planner as regards planting (more a plant collector)but I find grasses and the larger ferns work well. I hadn’t realised this plant existed.
