Care
- If watered less frequently but thoroughly and penetratingly, the plant roots are encouraged to penetrate into deeper soil layers. This helps the plant to survive periods of drought. - This plant should not be cut back in autumn, as it looks pretty in winter or the dead plant parts serve as winter protection. Only prune in spring before new shoots appear.
