Professional Growing Information 
This is one of my very favorite shrubs used in my landscape design business. It has silvery white lacy foliage that is beautiful in dry flower arrangements. It grows in a dense mound with an unusual texture. No pruning is necessary if you plan for the full size and give it the room it needs. And it has pale yellow flowers that disappear after blooming. I have never dead-headed it. The shrub grows with very very low water in full sun to partial shade. In the right conditions, though slow to start, it grows to about 4' tall and 5' wide. It never gets bugs or diseases. A great foundation plant, color accent, and texture.
