Watering: Drought tolerant once established, and they don't like to sit in wet soil. However, in high heat or full sun, regular watering is required

Fertilizer: A prolific self-sower, it's usually not necessary to fertilize unless you have poor soil. A handful of slow-release organic fertilizer can be mixed in at planting time
