Plant uses
Obviously an ideal choice for native gardens and particularly useful for those native gardeners who still aspire to a 'cottage' feel. Likewise those with the more traditional cottage style gardens will also be able to utilise this dainty perennial towards the front of beds and borders or in a rockery.
If you have limited space in your garden 'Paper Star' can happily grow in a planter pot or even a hanging basket with the added advantage of being mobile so that you can create a different point of interest based on whimsy when the plant is in flower. The fine leaved foliage is also attractive for softening edges of pathways or as a base planting in larger tubs containing standardised plants
Cultural care
Water when dry for first 6 weeks after planting and regularly in dry weather - do not allow to dry out. Prune back by up to a third of overall size in autumn to maintain a neat and dense habit. Apply slow release fertiliser for natives in autumn for optimum results.
