I've grown this here in Oakland, California where it typically gets 18-24 inches
tall
and spreads slowly but steadily to unknown dimensions.It is definitely not
as invasive/vigorous (depending on your point of view) as the type species.
Here it needs no summer water and in fact gets mildew with any overhead water
but we have coolish summers (I say coolish because we are in the middle of a
nasty heat wave but then for me that means anything above 70F...)Goes fully
dormant in our winters and emerges late spring, blooms 'til cool weather again.
Don't feed it
much Nitrogen if any, as this also will promote soft, mildew susceptible growth.
The more sun the better, it wants life to be hot and dry.
