I grew them myself!! Any type of exposure. No winter dieback. No special water needs. No pruning. They self- PROPAGATE. Multi- colors..the speckled ones are nice -- interesting veins. The roots are no problem but the rocks are VERY difficult to transplant. There can be pest issues..snakes..frogs...lizards...turtles...all seem to find their crevices interesting. Cooper -the pooch next door, waters them for me whe we are away from the property....but I don't pay him anything.
