  • Light: Thrives in full sun for the most intense color; tolerates partial shade.

  • Watering:
    • New Plants: Keep soil evenly moist until established.
    • Established Plants: Drought-tolerant; occasional deep watering in extended dry spells.
  • Fertilization: Minimal feeding needed—too much fertilizer can dull its vibrant colors.
  • Maintenance:
    • Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base for a clean look.
    • Avoid cutting back live leaves—they don’t regrow from the tip.
    • Mulch in winter to protect roots in colder zones.
  • Pest & Disease Resistance:
    • Generally pest-free; occasional mealybugs can be rinsed off.
    • Deer and rabbits avoid it.
  • Hardiness: Thrives in USDA zones 8-11handles light frost and coastal conditions.
