Place it where you can enjoy its clean, mounded habit at the front of a border, in a rock garden, along an edging, or in containers. It typically stays in the 6-12 inch range, with a neat footprint that suits small spaces and detailed plantings.

For best performance, give it full sun, but it will also handle part shade in many gardens. The key is drainage: aim for sandy, gritty, or rocky soil that drains quickly, and avoid consistently wet ground that can lead to rot. Once established, it is tolerant of dry conditions and is a good choice for water-wise and coastal-style gardens.

Deadhead spent flower heads to encourage a longer show and to keep the plant looking fresh. If clumps become crowded over time, you can lift and divide to refresh vigor and increase your planting. In winter, leave the evergreen foliage in place for texture, then tidy lightly as new growth begins.

Its bright blooms are attractive to pollinators such as butterflies, and the evergreen tufts add year-round structure. Combine it with other sun-loving, well-drained companions for a durable, low-maintenance planting that stays crisp and colorful through the seasons.
