It gets about 3 feet by 3 feet so it will be a dramatic accent if I can keep the snails from dining on it. I am wondering if it will be an aggressive spreader like the all green version.

I first saw this in the private GH at the Strybing Arboretum a month ago. It was tagged for the silent auction they have at their spring sale. My eye went right to it. I had never seen anything like it. The other day when I saw it at the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, I leapt at it. The guy could have sold so many more than he had.
