Care tips
This plant thrives in full sun in well-drained, preferably sandy or stony soils, and is quite drought-tolerant once established. Although it prefers poor soils, occasional watering during prolonged dry spells will benefit its flowering. Avoid excessive soil moisture, as it can lead to root rot; a common mistake is planting it in heavy clay soils.
