Very well-draining gritty mix with coarse sand, gravel or pumice to prevent root rot.
Drought tolerant. Water sparingly during active growth in spring/summer, keep dry in winter dormancy.
Full sun is preferred for compact growth and color; tolerates partial shade but may stretch.
Minimal feeding required. Diluted fertilizer once in early spring if soil is poor.
Remove dead flower stalks after blooming as individual rosettes die post-flowering (monocarpic).
