This lovely perennial got its name because the leaves look like the old-time capes that women used to wear.
The plant is known for its striking foliage. It is at its best when the morning dew beads up on the leaves.
The flowers appear in chartreuse cloud-like clusters above the scalloped leaves.
It tolerates sun and shade and is resistant to deer and other browsing animals
It is very hardy and will self-seed if the flowers are not removed.
The clumps make a beautiful border plant as they are less than 18” tall.
