Insights
With sturdy flower stems ideal for flower arranging, the diminutive size of this semi evergreen makes it ideal for front of borders or container planting, where its drought tolerant nature and resistance to rabbit and deer nibbling will endear it further. It’s also an important magnet for pollinators.
