Light: Full sun for best flowering; tolerates light shade but blooms less.
Water: Water deeply and regularly during establishment. Once established, allow soil to dry between deep waterings; supplemental summer irrigation improves flowering and canopy density.
Soil: Well-drained soil; tolerates sandy, clay, and alkaline soils but not prolonged waterlogging.
Mature size: Typically 4–6 feet tall and wide as a shrub; tree-trained plants may reach 6–8 feet tall with a 3–5-foot-wide crown, depending on training and pruning.
Bloom: Repeated flowering from late spring through fall, with the heaviest bloom during warm weather.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen.
Growth rate: Moderate; faster with adequate irrigation during warm weather.
