Plant & Care
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains well and enrich the planting area with compost before planting. Water consistently while young, then allow the soil to dry slightly between watering once established. Snip off faded flowers regularly to keep the plant looking fresh and encourage further flowering. After a heavy flowering period, give it a light cut-back to encourage fresh, compact growth. Feed during active growth for healthy foliage and a stronger floral display.
