Care & Size Guidance
It can cope with drought for a short time, however it’s best to mulch the ground around the plant with grit or bark chips to maintain moisture in the ground.
It may require some protection from frost with a horticultural fleece. In early spring, the dead leaves can be removed by cutting them as close as possible to the ground.
When kept in planters, avoid overwatering as this will lead to root rot and fungal diseases.
