This plant grows all over my yard; it was here when we bought this house! My husband loves it and mows around it for no other reason than he likes how it looks. It requires no care whatsoever and I’m tickled to finally know what plant this is. We live in NC zone 7a/b. Now I’m off to read about it in my recently acquired GPM Vol 2!
