Tolerates poor soils, clay soils and drought. Prefers consistent and even moisture. Avoid overhead watering. Some part afternoon shade is appreciated in hot summer climates, but fewer flowers and fruits are usually produced in part shade conditions. Appreciates a good organic mulch for the root zone. Propagate by cuttings or seed. Spreads by suckers to form colonies in optimum growing conditions.
