Care & maintenance

Requires minimal care once established. Water regularly during dry spells in its first year to help it establish. After establishment, it is quite drought tolerant. No significant pruning is needed, but you can shear it back lightly after flowering to maintain a dense habit and encourage new growth. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer if desired, though it generally thrives without heavy feeding.
