Growing & Maintenance Tips

Cold hardy to 17 degrees, likes most southwestern soils and does not like to be waterlogged. Provide a well drained soil away from reflected heat. Tolerates drought after establishment, but looks best with regular watering during the hot season. Mother plant will die after flowering but new suckers from below the rosette perpetuate the plant.


USDA Hardiness Zone 8b - 11
