BVs are heavy feeders and like deep watering. They can take long dry spells fairly well. Best to keep them in pots or the standard variety will get out of control fast. Be aware the root system will break a concrete pot if it out grows it. I have one in the back yard that still has the broken pot partially around the trunk. The root got into the ground and broke the pot.
