Cultural care

Low water requirements. Once established, very dry tolerant requiring only occasional deep watering during extended periods of heat.
Plant in most soil types. Requires good drainage if receiving regular irrigation or in areas of high rainfall. Feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser. Pruning generally not required although cutting
back spent flower stems to base will encourage abushier habit.
NOTE: Take care to avoid contact with eyes or skin as sap can be irritating.
