This is an excellent plant for a dry hillside. Flowers in winter time. After in finishes flowering you can cut it back and new shoots start growing. Gray color of the leaves and the red flower color go well with other mediterranean plants. Mine is about a year old, gone through two flowering seasons and is about 3 feet tall.
