✂️ Care
Plant in full sun in very well-drained, light, and poor soil. Water moderately at planting, then significantly reduce watering once established. This plant thrives in dry conditions and tolerates missed waterings.
Remove spent inflorescences after flowering to maintain a neat silhouette. Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base of the rosette.
Ideal for xeriscape gardens, rockeries, container compositions, and contemporary landscapes, it offers architectural structure and spectacular colors with minimal maintenance.
