It spreads gently, making it an excellent choice for edging borders, filling gaps, underplanting around shrubs or creating a naturalistic, informal look. The foliage often develops warm tones later in the season, adding extra interest. Cambridge is easy to grow, tolerant of a range of conditions and returns every year with a reliable, steady display.
