Where to use it in a border

At around 8 cm, it sits best along the front edge, where a low, spreading habit reads best. Give it about 90 cm of room to spread. It is hardy across USDA zones 8a to 11b, so check it suits your area before planting.

It appears in our lists of full sun, pet-safe plants.
