The Coral plant is best adapted to sunny locations in the Inland Empire and sustained with normal winter rainfall and regular summer water. It is a highly colorful flowering accent plant for courtyards and southwestern and Mediterranean style plantings. Monthly deep watering from spring through fall will enhance its spring flowering cycle and help maintain good foliage character. It should be noted there are several winter months marked by an asterisk (*) when rains can provide sufficient moisture and irrigation is not needed. The high and low range of moisture indicates it can grow with varying amounts of water depending upon exposure conditions and size.

For information how to calculate your irrigation system’s schedule and precipitation rate, please follow this link.
Remove older stems all the way to the base of the plant in winter or early spring to refresh and encourage new growth before spring growth begins (D). If not looking good, individual stems can be removed to the base any time. If needed, the entire plant can be cut to its base in late winter or early spring (18).
