Where to use it in a border
At around 55 cm, it sits best toward the back of a border, or on its own as a focal point with room around it. Give it about 15 cm of room to spread, roughly 7 to the metre when planted in a drift. It is hardy across USDA zones 3a to 8b, so check it suits your area before planting.
It appears in our lists of full sun, sandy soil.
