This trailing perennial forms a lush, ground-covering mat of lance-shaped, rippled foliage in a striking silver-blue hue. From late spring through fall, it produces massive, four-inch lemon-yellow flowers that contrast beautifully against the ghostly leaves. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, gritty soils, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant and heat-resistant. Ideal for rock gardens, gravel beds, or trailing over walls, it provides a low-maintenance, high-impact xeriscape solution for sunny spots.
