They thrive in limey and poor dry soils, but should be kept away from rich or wet soil conditions. Ideal growth is achieved in gritty or sandy soils that offer essential drainage. However, they are less suitable for humid climates as they can be susceptible to fungal diseases and may lose their compact shape. Promptly deadhead faded flowers and consider winter mulch in less hardy regions.
