Albaida is a tough Mediterranean shrub that thrives in full sun with well-drained, poor soils — avoid overwatering as it is adapted to dry conditions. Plant it in a sunny border or slope where it can establish freely with minimal intervention. Once established, it requires little care and is highly resistant to drought and poor soil fertility.
