Landscape use

  • Used in xeriscape schemes with a low water budget.
  • Withstands salt-laden wind on the coast.
  • Coloured foliage adds accent against dark green masses.

Care notes

  • Grows well in full sun and part shade; the habit opens up in shade.
  • Low to moderate water once established; good drainage is essential.
  • Evergreen; keeps its foliage through winter.
  • Regular watering in the first season after planting, while the plant moves from container to soil, is the most critical care step.
