i grow this in 'desert' gardens here in the bay area. it quickly spreads to form a mat, 7 or 8 ft around. it does well in large pots as well - cascades. it's a fast grower and a prolific bloomer. i just acquired two w/ variegated leaves. don't give it too much water or it will get v. leggy and might not bloom as well. it's a great plant for early spring color.
