General Information
Valuable for hot dry sites, these Mediterranean natives know how to take the heat. Deer resistant and drought tolerant, all change hues with the season, offering good fall interest as well as easy low maintenance care.

Plant Care
If the clumps splay open after blooming, shear back by half in early summer - will then maintain a nice mounding form.
