Care tips
It thrives in full sun exposure and is drought-tolerant once established, requiring moderate and infrequent watering. It needs well-drained soil, preferably sandy or stony, and does not tolerate waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Avoid over-fertilization, as it flourishes better in poor soils and excess nutrients can weaken its blooming. A common mistake is overwatering, especially in winter.
