Provide lean to average, well-drained soil. Thrives in full sun to part shade in cool coastal areas; part shade in hot summer areas, away from reflected heat. Drought tolerant once established in cooler regions; needs regular water in hotter summer regions. Mother plant declines after flowering; younger rosettes will perpetuate the plant.
