Remarkably drought-tolerant, it thrives in full sun exposure and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or low-water gardens. Their resilience, architectural appeal, and the drama of color they bring to your landscape make them a must-have in every discerning gardener's collection.
