This plant grows into a tight round ball and doesn’t need much maintenance. Because of its natural size and shape, it’s perfect for creating knot gardens. The silver color and small yellow blooms look terrific against any other garden plant. It thrives in full sun and poor soil but it doesn’t like to be moved, I moved mine and lost them all. I’ve been looking for replacements ever since. They are hard to find.
