The Gardener's Notepad
A nice spreading/weeping cultivar from France. Can be used as a groundcover on large banks and is quite spectacular in bloom. Particularly good in masses, and a big 'sweep' of them is not unlike a soft green ocean wave. Tolerates fairly high degrees of shade, albeit grudgingly, and performance is diminished.
