Where to use it in a border
At around 25 cm, it sits best along the front edge, where a low, spreading habit reads best. Give it about 45 cm of room to spread, roughly 2 to the metre when planted in a drift. It is hardy across USDA zones 9a to 11a, so check it suits your area before planting.
It appears in our lists of full sun, pet-safe plants.
