Thrives in average to very lean, well-drained soil. Takes light shade, particularly in hot southern climates.

As groundcover, space plants 12 to 15 in. apart, closer for faster fill. Fertilize sparingly.
Lore
The genus is from the Latin verb sedere, to sit, which describes the procumbent growth habit of many species.
