Full sun, soils with decent drainage, nice in the rock garden, hell strips, troughs and as underplanting for small bulbs. USDA Zone 6++ 3" pot

A seedling strain of this classic, ground-hugging, moisture-loving, New Zealand beauty with, yes, hazy blue leaves. Best in full sun with regular summer water. To perhaps 4” tall and spreading moderately. Good in pots. Pet owners beware: the little, burr-like seeds stick to fur, leg hairs, and other unmentionables. Frost hardy to -10 °F, USDA zone 6.
