Growing and Maintenance Tips:

This plant forms a unique low maintenance evergreen, ideal in any rock garden as a flat, creeping spreader. It is quite intolerant of urban pollution, therefore, inner city or streetside plantings should be avoided. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in an exposed location.
