Care

• Location: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade.
• Soil: Light, well-draining soil, preferably sandy or rocky. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils.
• Temperature: Withstands mild frosts and extreme heat conditions.
• Fertilization: Apply a low-phosphorus fertilizer in spring to encourage growth and flowering.

Watering
