Mature size: Typically 2–3 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide.
Bloom: Primarily late winter through spring, with scattered repeat blooms after summer rains or supplemental irrigation.
Evergreen / deciduous: Semi-evergreen; may drop leaves during drought or cold weather.
Growth rate: Moderate with occasional irrigation; slower under very dry conditions.
