Care Instructions

Light: Full sun to light shade; afternoon shade is beneficial during Phoenix’s extreme summer heat. Avoid reflected heat from west-facing walls.

Water: Low water once established; water deeply, then allow soil to dry between waterings. Provide supplemental irrigation during prolonged summer heat, especially in containers.

Soil: Very well-drained, sandy or gravelly soil; tolerates alkaline soil. Avoid poorly drained clay and excessive fertilizer.

Mature size: 2–3 feet tall and 3–6 feet wide.

Bloom: Rarely flowers; occasional small blooms may appear in late summer.

Evergreen / deciduous: Generally evergreen in Phoenix; may become semi-evergreen or suffer tip damage during unusually cold weather.

Growth rate: Moderate to fast.
