All Daleas require good drainage. Pruning in late spring will encourage dense growth. Native to the Sonoran Desert.

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.
Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
