The white color is actually a waxy powder produced by the plant. It comes off very easily if the leaves are touched. Best to touch the leaves as little as possible. Easy to grow. Likes lots of sun. Can take light frost, but protect if temps will be below the upper 20s. Will clump heavily

often dropping its leaves and going partially to fully dormant in summer

Low light will cause them to grow more upright
