Planting and care

These plants are very easy to cultivate on a slope where, with the addition of gravel to improve drainage, they live for a long time. A very graphic plant with a great effect in a scree garden or on paving, in any well-drained soil. Hardiness is not its strong point, it needs a sheltered location from cold winds outside coastal areas.
