Prefers summer moisture but tolerates low summer water. Good for rock gardens or cover for gravel mulch where the color makes a good contrast. Evergreen to 20 °F and frost hardy in USDA zone 8, recovering quickly.

The tiny (3-6"tall) feathery leaves of this tolerant; low-maintenance groundcover are green with gray, purple; black tints; tiny yellow "buttons" flowers in spring; delightful between stepping stones on 8"centers. Sun-PSh/Med-Dry/GdDrain
