✂️ Care
This compact perennial thrives in full sun and adapts remarkably well to coastal conditions, rock gardens, and well-drained areas. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant and requires little watering.
Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous production of delicate pink pompoms. Light pruning after flowering maintains a compact silhouette and promotes dense, balanced growth.
