Less water supports more compact growth on this fast-growing, drought-adapted shrub. For the first three years after it's planted, this shrub should be watered deeply but infrequently (when the top three inches of soil or so have dried). After that, it won't need supplemental water except in exceptionally hot and dry environments but will look its best with occasional summer irrigation once dry. Use drippers, emitters or a slow stream of water so that it doesn't run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. | |

Notas de cultivo
Prefers well-drained soils, full sun. May not be at its best in cooler coastal and high-rainfall areas.
Interés especial
One of the showiest and tidiest stalwarts for hot, dry locations. After peaking in late winter or early spring, scattered bloom can occur in other seasons.
After flowering, green beanpods form, ripen to bronzy brown, forming a nice accent against the silvery foliage.
