Hi all,
I just bought one plant of Crithmum maritimum and wonder what people's
experiences with it have been. How drought tolerant is it?
Can it grow through our 6 month bone-dry but not particularly hot season
without
irrigation (once established) or would it like
a soak once a month or ?.
Will it take once per week irrigation without rotting out? How wide
does it grow? If I can get it to bloom and set seed is it difficult to
germinate? It is a new one to me and very interesting (of course every
medit.
plant new to me is inherently interesting...)I've already done a google
search
but I'm not finding info about growing it in *gardens*.
