If this plant grows similarly to the species it should grow slowly to form clumps with basal branching to 6-8 feet all by 4 to 6 feet wide. We received this plant in early 2009 and were not sure it would do this for us in our milder Southern California climate but with our cool November nights it turned a beautiful pink. Plant in full sun in a well drained soil and irrigate infrequently. Hardy to 0 °F or even slightly lower. Our plants came from Foremostco Nursery as did our images.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
