Notes
Drosanthemum (Drosanthemum micans) is a succulent groundcover for rock gardens, slopes, and dry beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and spreads 24 to 36 inches wide, so give it room to sprawl. The yellow flowers have red tips.
Pairs well with White sage, Statice, and Capers.
