An ornamental species, it is elegant with a fine, silky texture, featuring numerous arching stems in blue-grey\/silver tones that typically don&#8217;t exceed 40cm in height. It&#8217;s widely used in low-maintenance, modern, minimalist, or rock gardens, grown either individually (using gravel, pine bark, or small white stones) or in groups along the edges of beds, creating a bluish accent that highlights other shrubs and flowering plants. It can also be grown individually in pots, as it&#8217;s a very decorative plant on its own. This herbaceous species is very hardy in most Peninsular climates, has very low watering or fertilizer needs, and is fantastic for covering areas with all types of substrates\/soils. It&#8217;s a true example of sustainability. A real all-rounder in gardening.
