Rob, I have several Spurias--some new this year, some established (those are NOIDs). They get the same care as all the other plants in the yard...meaning no extra care at all. Manage to do well in our heat and frequent droughts anyway. Did get four named Spurias this year, mostly from Comanche Acres (all four went into the Polly-Vi memory bed). If you try them out and decide you like the type, let me know and I will share with you.
