Summer: Although drought resistant, on extremely hot days check moisture daily - it dries out quickly in pots! Winning combination: 'Silver Falls' + 'Emerald Falls' = spectacular silver-green combo in the same basket! Propagation: Stem cuttings root easily - just plant a piece of stem in moist soil.
