Fresno mat is a low-growing California native shrub that thrives in partial shade with well-drained, rocky or sandy soils. Water moderately during establishment then reduce frequency, as it is adapted to the dry summers of its Sierra Nevada foothill habitat. It is best suited to outdoor native gardens and wildlife landscapes rather than containers or indoor settings.
