Typically white, it will exhibit a unique color-changing trait, with flowers sometimes opening as lavender or deep purple. It tolerates drought and heat, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. Ideal for erosion control on hillsides, retaining walls, parking strips, hanging baskets, and as a wide-scale groundcover. Fire resistant. Tolerates frost down to approximately 20°F.
