This distinctive shrub has a long bloom time and is generally adaptable. A small colony of plants may be dotted with blooms for multiple months! Prefers moist to medium, well drained soil. Blooms best in full sun, but will tolerate part shade. Can be trimmed into a round shape but naturally has a leaning, almost creeping habit that makes it look like it belongs on a rocky coast or the windswept edge of a desert. Very good for adding interest and variety to borders or shorter plantings.
