The fringe flower is an extremely versatile evergreen shrub - it can be planted as a border plant, in containers, used in landscaping, in mass-plantings, or as a focal plant. However, it is most commonly grown in woodland gardens and considered a go-to plant for growing in this setting. Most fringe flower varieties will grow between 3 to 5 m in height.
