✂️ Care
Water lightly when planting, then let nature take its course. Gravelly, well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot.
Remove dead rosettes after flowering to encourage natural multiplication. Remove damaged or dried leaves. Extremely hardy, it requires no winter protection. Keep the rosettes in place over winter for extended ornamental interest and natural root protection.
