I brought a couple of these home to Indiana from New Mexico about 8 years ago. I now have several huge and spreading plants growing in a (full sun) sandy beach on the lakefront. They are thriving, one of them had five blooming shoots this year! They get water only when it rains and I only fertilize twice a year.

I have collected the pods to get the seeds. There are thousands of little black seeds.

This plant seems to be thriving in dry sunny spots in my garden. It likes good drainage and plenty of sunshine.
It makes a statuesque feature plant, so should be carefully placed
