Planting guide

Plant at any time of year in free-draining soil or gritty compost. Position in full sun for the best colour and avoid waterlogged conditions.

Care tips

Water sparingly and ensure excellent drainage. Remove spent flowering rosettes after blooming to allow offsets to develop.

Winter care

No protection required. Ensure excellent drainage in winter and remove any dead rosettes as they appear.
