gomphostigma virgatum

Has anybody grown this plant? I bought it two years ago at a nursery which is now out of business and promptly lost the name label. The plant stayed in a pot, bloomed, and looked healthy. I _finally_ planted it yesterday and I found the label where it had dropped down the inside of the pot to the bottom--so now I know the name. I learned from the internet that it's a South African herb/perennial/shrub (take your pick). My plant has several fairly thick woody stems, some up to four feet high, with airy branches growing from them; there are several sturdy new shoots growing from the base. I would like to use it as a feathery, floaty shrub; it has lovely tiny white flowers. I would love to hear of other southern gardeners' experience with this plant. Thanks!
