Hoary alison is a low-maintenance biennial or short-lived perennial that thrives in poor, dry, well-drained soils with full sun exposure. It requires very little supplemental watering once established and does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Its small white flowers attract a variety of pollinators, making it a charming addition to wildflower meadows or gravel gardens.
