Insights
Dark Canyon starts as a compact plant before spreading and trailing. It is mound forming so it is ideal for plugging a gap in the border for late summer interest or for planting in a pot or hanging basket where it can billow and trail to its heart’s content.

Planting

Care
The plant will die back to below ground level in winter and come back the following year, so cut foliage back in late winter and protect new spring growth from slugs and snails.
