Description

This bi-colored groundcover is stunning because of the color splashed effects. Leaves have a silvery edge to them. It is heat and drought tolerant, spreading slowly. Flowers look like yellow buttons. This plant is known more for its foliage than flowers. During the heat of the summer, deep water every 1-2 weeks. Cut it back in winter to make it more presentable.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
