Plant & Care
Plant in sandy, well‑draining soil and water sparingly once established. Full sun ensures strong flowering and compact growth. Remove spent flower spikes to keep the plant neat and encourage future flushes. Fertilise lightly in spring with a succulent‑safe feed. Avoid overwatering during winter, and ensure good airflow around the plant’s base to prevent rot.
