| Water requirements are very low. Once established, quite dry tolerant requiring only occasional deep watering during extended periods of heat.Plant in most soil types. Requires good drainage if receiving regular irrigation or in areas of high rainfall. Feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser. Pruning generally not required although cutting back spent flower stems to base will encourage a bushier habit. Take care to avoid skin contact with sap as it can
be irritating - wear gloves. |
