Light: Full sun; tolerates light afternoon shade, but flowers best with ample sunlight.
Water: Low water once established. Water deeply, then let soil dry thoroughly; occasional supplemental summer watering supports foliage and repeat blooms. Water new plants more regularly while roots establish.
Soil: Well-drained sandy, gravelly, or rocky soil; tolerates alkaline and nutrient-poor soils. Avoid persistently wet soil.
Mature size: Typically 2–4 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide.
Bloom: Heaviest bloom in late winter through spring; may bloom again after summer rains or with occasional irrigation.
Evergreen / deciduous: Semi-evergreen; may shed leaves during prolonged drought or cold, then regrow when conditions improve.
Growth rate: Fast.
