Care guide for UAE

Comfort range: Loves heat — happy from about 22°C up past 42°C, which is exactly why it flowers in UAE summer. Light: Full sun for the best blooms. Water: Deep, regular watering while establishing and through summer; once established it is fairly drought tolerant. Winter: It is deciduous — it naturally drops its leaves in the cool months and re-shoots in spring, so don't mistake bare winter branches for a problem. Feeding: A balanced fertiliser in spring. Pruning: Light prune in late winter to shape. Size: 2–6 m.
