Growing Conditions & Care:

• Appearance: Dense, mat-forming, trailing branches with fine, silver-blue foliage.
• Sun/Soil: Thrives in full sun and thrives in average, well-drained, dry, or sandy soils.
• Growth Rate: Slow to moderate, with long, trailing branches.
• Hardiness: Highly drought-tolerant once established and cold-hardy.
• Maintenance: Low maintenance; no pruning required, though it can be trimmed. Best planted 5-6 feet apart for groundcover. 

Uses In The Garden:

• Ground Cover and Erosion Control: Ideal for covering large areas, banks, and slopes to prevent soil erosion, forming a thick, mat-like barrier.
• Cascading Feature: Excellent for planting at the top of retaining walls or rocky slopes, where it trails downward to soften hard edges.
• Rock Gardens and Borders: Suitable for adding color and structure to rockeries and along border edges.
• Weed Suppression: Its dense growth habit makes it effective at covering large patches, which helps to suppress weeds.
• Xeriscaping/Low-Water Gardening: Highly drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for water-wise landscapes.
• Coastal or Windy Sites: Withstands salt-laden winds and poor soil, making it perfect for exposed coastal locations.
• Winter Interest: The silver-blue summer foliage turns a bronzy or purplish color in winter, providing seasonal color changes.
