- Soil: Prefers well-draining, acidic to neutral soil; thrives in sandy, rocky, and lean conditions.
- Watering: Once it’s settled in, it laughs at drought—just give it a drink during extreme dry spells.

- Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 4-8—cold? What cold?
- Additional Tips: This low-maintenance, evergreen show-off is a pollinator hotspot, thrives on neglect, and spreads like a dream over slopes, borders, and rocky landscapes.
