An attractive mass planting, like the one shown in the photograph, can be achieved by spacing the plants 18 inches on center, in a triangular pattern.  This west Texas native is not recommended for those with an over-active sprinkler system. Grows in dappled shade to half-day sun, in locations with good drainage.  Looks best if given a deep watering every two weeks during a dry summer. 

(Feed with 3 Agriform 21-gram, 2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.)
