water info |
Very drought tolerant but will grow faster if it receives some summer water, usually every couple weeks to a month once established (let the plant dry out between waterings). If you aren’t getting summer growth you may be underwatering. These plants prefer a dry winter; outdoors in central California, they won’t need supplemental winter water once established. Worth growing under eaves in wetter and frostier areas. |
