Grows best in an average to dry, well-drained rocky soil, in full sun to partial shade. It is tolerant of dry shady landscapes, although its habit becomes less compact.

In bloom from April to August, the flowers provide pollen and nectar for various species of insects, mainly flies and bees. The foliage provides forage for desperate wildlife; not usually browsed by rabbits or deer.
