Care
Water regularly. Provide consistent moisture to prevent interior browning. Tolerates light shade but best color in full sun.
Maintenance
Naturally grows in a rounded globe habit requiring little pruning. Trim lightly in late spring only if needed.
Cleanup
No seasonal cutback. Remove dead inner foliage in spring. Shake off heavy snow.
Notes
Classic foundation plant. Dense, rounded habit makes it ideal for formal gardens and borders.
