Care Considerations: | Low watering needs and is drought-tolerant once established. Applying organic mulch can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilisation is rarely needed, but a light feed with balanced fertiliser can help maintain vigour. Trim old or dead foliage in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh new growth and keep the plant tidy. |
