Care Instructions

Light: Full sun to partial shade; in Phoenix, morning sun with afternoon shade helps protect against extreme summer heat.

Water: Low to moderate water once established. Water deeply, then let the upper soil dry; provide additional irrigation during extreme heat and while establishing.

Soil: Well-drained sandy or gravelly soil; tolerates alkaline soil but struggles in soggy or compacted ground.

Mature size: Approximately 18–24 inches tall and wide.

Bloom: Flowers repeatedly from spring through fall; blooming may slow during Phoenix’s hottest summer weather.

Evergreen / deciduous: Usually evergreen to semi-evergreen in Phoenix; frost may cause leaf loss or tip dieback.

Growth rate: Moderate to fast during warm growing weather.
