Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to dry, shady conditions. Macrorrhizum cultivars require little pruning to maintain their shape throughout the season. A light pruning may be necessary to remove flower stems. Spreads by shallow rhizomes. Variegated foliage may revert back to green with time, so remove green foliage when discovered.
