    A great flower for a small place. It grows well in rocky dry places and will self seed. Would do well in a rock garden .
    The plant is greyish silver with small white daises that close at night and show the pink/red color under the petals.
    I have found it a bit hard to transplant because it likes dry soil and I tend to water my new transplants too much. Adding a bit of pea gravel or rock to the soil helps.
