Cheryl,
It's a nice, hardy, undemanding shrub especially suitable for naturalizing. Although its not terribly invasive, it does have a suckering, spreading habit and needs lots of room. The flowers are attractive and appear on and off all summer. The spent flowers are not attractive and should be deadheaded to maintain a tidy appearance. My clump grows on a creek bank in high shade and is propering although I think it might flower better with more sun. It grows about 4-5' high and as wide as you let it.
