Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun to partial shade. Space 18–24 inches apart for optimal growth. Use well-draining soil to encourage healthy roots.

Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Once mature, highly drought-tolerant; occasional watering during prolonged dry periods is sufficient.

Pruning:
Trim damaged or older foliage as needed. Light pruning in late winter refreshes the clump and maintains shape.

Pest Control:
Generally pest-resistant. Monitor for scale or fungal spots in excessively wet conditions and treat if necessary.

Soil Tips:
Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Mulching annually helps retain moisture and improves soil health.
