Care Instructions

Light: Full sun for best flowering, ideally at least 6 hours daily; light afternoon shade can help container plants during extreme Phoenix heat.

Water: Low water once established; water deeply, then let the upper several inches of soil dry. Water more frequently during establishment and for containers in summer.

Soil: Well-drained soil; tolerates sandy and alkaline soils but dislikes waterlogged roots. Use a freely draining potting mix in containers.

Mature size: Typically 3–4 feet tall and 3–5 feet wide; size varies with climate and pruning.

Bloom: Repeated flushes from spring through fall; flowering may continue into winter in warm, frost-protected locations.

Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen in frost-free conditions; may lose leaves during Phoenix cold spells or drought stress.

Growth rate: Slow to moderate, depending on warmth, watering, and growing conditions.
