Care tips
This species prefers full sun for optimal flowering, though it tolerates some partial shade. It is adaptable to a wide range of soils, as long as they have good drainage, tolerating even poor or sandy soils. Watering should be moderate once established, as it is drought-tolerant; excessive water can lead to fungal growth. Avoid planting it in very fertile or moist soils, as this can lead to excessive growth and cause the plants to become leggy and floppy.
