False calico
False calico is characterized by its vibrant, funnel-shaped flowers and serrated leaf edges, which form a striking visual contrast against its typically green foliage. This genus thrives in sunny, open areas, adapting to a range of soils but preferring well-drained conditions. The unique floral structure not only adds aesthetic appeal but also aids in the attraction of pollinators, essential for the plant's reproductive success.

Water: False calico thrives in semi-arid environments, requiring minimal moisture and preferring dry climates. It is drought-tolerant, needing watering every 2-3 weeks, with soil drying between sessions. Its water-storing capacity makes it ideal for xeric landscapes with sporadic rainfall.
Propagation: False calico can be propagated by seed sowing or cuttings. Germination requires warmth, light, and well-draining soil, with moisture control being key. For seeds: use a seed-starting mix, surface-sow, and maintain moisture at 70°F (21°C). Cuttings must be taken during active growth with rooting hormone.
