This is a fabulous perennial that does well in the shade. It is hardy to zone 4 and it's heat tolerant (known to do well in Georgia). The foliage stays all summer and turns golden in the fall. It has some vertical height, spreads by rhizomes right under the soil, and blooms little bell flowers that hang.
