Excellent for containers and xeriscape gardens
Frost Tolerance and Cold Hardiness:
Best suited for USDA Zones 8–11
Can tolerate brief cold down to about 15°F (-9°C) when dry
Protect from prolonged freezing and winter moisture
Winter Dormancy and Health:
Growth slows during cooler months
Reduce watering significantly in winter
Leaf margins may intensify in color with cool temperatures
