A dwarf, airy, fluffball-flowering perennial for drifts in the front of the herbaceous border or subject for a patio pot. Finely cut foliage, reminiscent of an adiantum fern, ‘Little Pixie’ send up mischievous, frothy pink flowers on dark, slender stems to attract attention from pollinating insects. Ideal for wildlife and cottage gardens where its pastel, hazy clouds will delight all.
