A clump-forming perennial with soft, hairy foliage and sprays of clustered chartreuse flowers. Grows about 1 foot tall with rounded, 4-6 inch leaves. It is a robust, mounding plant growing from slow-creeping roots. Can be mowed or cut to the ground if the foliage becomes tattered - plants will quickly produce a new set of leaves. A fairly low maintenance plant, requiring only summer water and dead-heading to prevent self-sown seedlings.
