Consolida regalis reaches on average 30–80 centimetres (12–31 in) in height. The stem is erect, hairy and very branched at the top. The roots grow into the soil up to a depth of 50 centimetres (20 in), so the plant can survive long periods of drought.
Avoid watering the plant when it’s dormant, but remember to start back up again once you see new growth.
To extend the plant’s blooming period, prune away spent flower spikes promptly with a sturdy pair of scissors or gardening shears.
If temperatures drop below freezing, the plant may turn brown and look dead. But it’s simply going dormant, saving up energy for when warmth returns.
