Cuidados

Plant in well-draining soil and provide consistent moisture, especially when young. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. It tolerates a range of conditions once established.

Watering

Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter.

Feeding

Generally does not require regular fertilization; a light feeding in spring is sufficient if needed.

Pruning

Cut back all dried foliage to about 2-4 inches above the ground in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins.

Repotting

Division is the best way to propagate and rejuvenate clumps; do this in early spring.
