Sandy, gravelly soil with excellent drainage; low organic matter preferred for arid conditions.
Drought tolerant once established; water deeply but infrequently during active growth, keep dry in winter dormancy.

Remove dead foliage and spent flower stalks in late autumn or early spring to prevent rot.
