I like this as a carefree groundcover (tall) very much.Even if it reroots & spreads, the cuttings made wild bouquets. After rain, the black racers would slither up the stems to sun themselves! The creamy yellow one blends well with others, too.

Yes, it makes a good ground cover or willowy shrub.

Are black racers snakes?

Indeed. Cute little black mousers that tamed my fear of snakes. Had a cat that would bring them into the kitchen, alive, wondering what to do with her prize. Next day when I inspected the garden, saw that she'd pulled the black leaky hose about 10 feet out from under the mulch before she gave up!
