Does require well grained soil! I have found given well drained soil and a once a yr time release fertilizer it is very carefree.
Positive	JamesCO	On Nov 21, 2005, JamesCO from Grand Junction, CO (Zone 7a) wrote: A very short groundcover. Its great merits in the arid west are the heat, sun , and drought tolerances. Small blueish flowers are correlated to amount of sun. Divides well and makes a good understory plant, as it does not strangle other plants or mat over them. The problem I have with it is my own fault- It shows no drought stress to tell me when I need to water the soil it sits on, and the other plants there suffer when I do not water them enough! This is my favourite groundcover of all time; my apologies for the overflow of photographs. Probably a hybrid between V. liwanensis and V. pectinata.
