This is what we call shrub is called down here. About 4 years ago, a landscaper had identified it for me, and I have hunted and hunted for the paper where I wrote it's scientific name and came find it anymore.
I call, it maybe a semi-woody, it's deciduous. Don;'t know if you can see in the pic or not put it sends up a very thin stem that looks like a very thin piece of thread. At the end of the thread, very tiny pink flowers will bloom in a star shape. After the flower blooms it makes these little red, orange and yellow, tiny balls, that look like the balls you find on the end of a ladies hat pin. Hence the comon name. It's a somewhat slow grower and branches out into a shrub form. I was told there was a varigated version too.
Thanks!
Old Ladys Hat Pin.
Thank you very much James. That's it! Got it noted too it grows here.
The flowers sounded like Eriocaulaceae but not with those leaves. I've heard Pipe wort called hat pin.
I have Kingswood Gold...for me it is not perennial but it reseeds like crazy. I would not think of it as having woody stems....but maybe in your zone it does. Mine totally disappears and then comes back all over the place in cracks and crevices. I liked it at first. :~)
