It is glabrous and multi-branched, with spine-tipped branchlets. You can also be used it for Natural Hedge/Border Plants. Can be easily grown in Pots & easy to grow at all kind of soil with very low maintenance.
It produces the most dye when grown in temperatures between 35 and 45 °C. During the onset of precipitation intervals, the plant grows rapidly, putting out new shoots. Growth subsequently slows. The leaves gradually yellow and fall during prolonged dry or cool intervals. It does not thrive where minimum temperatures are below 11 °C.  Temperatures below 5 °C  will kill the henna plant.
