Growing tips
Plant in full sun for the best flowering, using rich, well-draining soil or a good-quality potting mix. Water regularly but avoid oversaturation, and feed lightly during the growing season to keep blooms coming. Deadheading encourages fresh flowers, while a sheltered position and a little snail protection help young plants stay healthy and strong.
