The fruit is not ornamentally significant. The stems are red but aren't particularly outstanding. Landscape Attributes: Bishop's Hat is a dense herbaceous evergreen perennial with a ground-hugging habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. |
