Love this but it's a Greenhouse plant with me. Maybe when it's bulked up
enough I will try some in a sunny spot.


They are cliche commercial landscape plants here and a bit too
aggressive for a typical home garden.
Of course they are pretty enough that I still have to try them.
There is another species - D. bicolor - that is nicer and less
aggressive.


I just need a drought proof prolific plant other than prickly pear. :-(
Even the Lantanas are suffering right now.
