Care Information
Provide good drainage
Marginally hardy in our area. Plant in locations where it will receive adequate winter sunlight or reflected heat.
Individual stalks will lie down as they get taller. This is a normal growth habit and does not need to be staked back up. Allow it to root and new stalks will begin to clump around it.
