A hardy perennial with tall (30cm), leafless stems that hold at the top of them a tight cluster of pink flowers that appear as an impressive round globe from late winter through spring. The flowers sit well above the foliage of the plant that creates a small mound to 15cm. Can be used in rock or gravel gardens, containers, edging for paths or garden beds, Japanese style gardens or as a small filler for perennial or mixed garden borders.
