Key Features

Pot Size: Ships in a 2 - 2.5" pot.

Hardiness Zones: Exceptionally hardy across USDA Zones 3–9.

Sun Requirements: Thrives best in Full Sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight per day) to develop its most vibrant purple and ruby-red hues and dense, compact growth. It can tolerate Partial Shade (2–6 hours), though foliage may appear greener and less intense. Avoid Full Shade, as it will cause the plant to become leggy and lose its characteristic color.

Watering: Highly drought-tolerant once established; allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Blooms & Seasonality: Produces a charming display of flowers in summer, with foliage intensifying through the fall; goes dormant during winter freezes, returning with fresh spring growth.

Uses: Ideal for groundcover, rock gardens, pathways, and sunny slopes.
