Tender, vigorous multiplying rosettes to 4" create a 3D tapestry of highly textural silver green with a dash of rose. Great in containers as well as fillers between stones in walls and rock gardens where freezing is a rarity. Full sun to very light shade, fast draining soil, let dry between watering.
