This clump-forming perennial features a graceful, vase-shaped habit with slender, arching stems that reach up to three feet tall. Its lance-shaped green foliage provides a delicate backdrop for the star-shaped white flowers that emerge from pink buds, blooming continuously from late spring through autumn. Ideal for sunny borders, rock gardens, or containers, it thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and exhibits excellent drought tolerance once established due to its deep taproot.
