Fine, thread-like leaves in rich chocolate-brown tones form dense, low mounds that add unusual color and texture to sunny plantings. Especially effective in containers, rock gardens, and along the front of borders where its coloring contrasts with green foliage. Requires full sun and sharply drained soils and performs best when kept on the dry side.
