Growing and Maintenance Tips
This drought-tolerant perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing best in sandy or gravelly conditions. It requires minimal maintenance and is highly tolerant of heat and dry conditions once established. Good drainage is essential, especially in winter. Plants can be trimmed lightly in spring to maintain a compact habit.
