Landscape Use: Makes a wide spreading silver accent plant or groundcover.
Has a strong fragrance when brushed up against or crushed.
Container Use: Can make an interesting plant for containers.

spreads out from the original plant.
Type: Evergreen
Deer Resistance: Very Deer resistant.
Drought Tolerance: Very drought tolerant but looks best with occasional
watering.
Soil: Not particular about soil as long as it drains well and does not remain
constantly wet. Does well in rocky soil or even better with soil enhancement.
Water: Smart Watering Principle=Water well when first planted then allow to
dry slightly, without wilting, then water deeply again, etc. Do not keep
constantly wet.
Fertilizer: Looks even better with regular fertilization.
Maintenance Tips: Keep it under control by trimming it back in the spring, or
else it will become woody in the interior. Can use a weed-eater or clippers to
cut it back regularly a little at a time. Wait till it is actively growing or about to
grow in the cooler growing season months to cut back severely.
Rating: Moderate rating as a landscape plant.
