This is a great Pussytoes plant folks...but it HAS to have great drainage, lots of sun, and not a lot of attention. Many novice gardeners might be tempted to overwater this beauty and it will not like it. A gravel base is perfect for this one and a tendency to ignore plants is a good trait as well. As always, it needs to be watered enought to get established and should be fine in kept on the drier side of life.
