Partridge Feather

Partridge feather is a groundcover grown for its feathery silver leaves. The leaves grow as a low mat that spreads slowly over the years.

It is very heat-tolerant and able to withstand dry conditions, making it a great choice for a xeric landscape.

In June, it grows yellow button-like flowers that rise above the leaves. It does not grow well with soggy soil or regular watering from overhead sprinklers.
