Additional Information

  • Soil Preferences: Versatile, able to grow in a variety of soil types, but best performance is seen in well-drained soils.
  • Watering Needs: Initially benefits from regular watering but becomes highly drought-tolerant once established.
  • Wildlife Attraction: Its flowers are a significant source of pollen and nectar for bees and other pollinating insects, supporting local biodiversity.
  • Propagation: Propagation is typically through seeds, which may require pre-treatment (such as boiling water shock) to break dormancy.
  • Pests/Diseases: While generally robust, it can be susceptible to fungal diseases in more humid climates. Proper air circulation and site selection can mitigate these issues.
