Customers Usually Ask
How much sun does it take?
Part shade to full shade; protect it from hot afternoon sun, which scorches the leaves.

Yes; deer and rabbits typically leave its fuzzy, silvery foliage alone.
Does it need a lot of water?
It needs consistent, even moisture and is not a good choice for dry soil.
