Growing Mexican Heather

Light: Full sun to partial shade; thrives in heat and produces the most abundant blooms with strong sunlight.

Soil: Well‑drained soil; highly adaptable to various soil types but performs best in slightly acidic conditions.

Water: Moderate; water regularly until established, then it becomes quite drought‑tolerant, requiring supplemental water only during prolonged dry spells.

Maintenance: No deadheading required—plants are self‑cleaning. A light shearing in midsummer can rejuvenate the foliage and encourage a fresh flush of blooms.

Wildlife: Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds; generally avoided by deer.
