Light: Morning sun with afternoon shade; protect from intense western exposure and reflected desert heat.
Water: Water deeply and regularly, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Increase frequency during extreme summer heat, especially in containers; avoid soggy soil.
Soil: Well-drained, organically enriched soil, preferably slightly acidic to neutral. Mulch the root zone, keeping mulch away from stems.
Mature size: Approximately 3–4 feet tall and wide.
Bloom: Repeated flowering from late spring through fall in warm conditions; extreme heat or water stress may reduce bloom.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen in frost-free conditions; cold exposure may cause leaf loss or stem damage.
Growth rate: Moderate with adequate warmth, moisture, and nutrition.
