Care Instructions
Easily grown in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun with protection from excessive winter wet. Once established, plants are reasonably drought-tolerant, making this a good choice for ground cover in a dry sunny border or gravel garden. Cut back the flowers towards the end of their season to keep the basal foliage tidy.
