Plant Highlights

This groundcover offers a blanket of silvery foliage, and abundant lavender-pink daisy type flowers over a long bloom period. The flowers bloom in the heat of summer and also provide nectar food for larval and adult butterflies. When planted over a wall or rocks it spills over nicely. It is a perfect plant for borders, planters, rock gardens and containers. Keep lightly pruned for best appearance.

Comments
Growing well in inland East County San Diego on drip irrigation. Hot, dry, and windy here. Few flowers but leaves make up for it.
