The plant forms a low, wide mound with gray-green foliage. The patent reports absent anthers and low to no seed set in a field setting, without excluding rare seed set. ## Garden use The spreading outline suits a sunny border edge, low mass planting, or groundcover-like grouping. Proven Winners lists butterflies and hummingbirds among its visitors and describes the flowers as fragrant. Leave room for the wider spread. ## Siting and soil Provide full sun and well-drained soil. Proven Winners lists average water needs and USDA zones 5–9; the patent describes moderate moisture. Water during establishment and adjust irrigation to soil drainage, rainfall, and summer heat. ## Maintenance The plant blooms on new wood. Wait for new leaves to emerge in spring before pruning, and avoid fall pruning. Remove winter-damaged stems as needed and shape lightly to preserve the low, spreading form.
