water info |
Will need some careful watering through its first dry season (and if winter rains fail), but will survive on rainfall alone once established. It also tolerates garden conditions with occasional douses of water. If you choose to withhold summer water entirely, your plant may look sparse or bony by fall, with only a few leaves still vibrant, but it will flush out quickly with rain (or irrigation) in the fall or winter, or new seedlings will appear to take over the next year’s show. This is its natural cycle. |
