Plant & Care
Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and water regularly while the plant is establishing. Once established, allow the soil to dry slightly between watering, particularly where it is planted in the garden. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming and lightly trim after a strong flowering period to maintain its compact shape. Feed with a balanced fertiliser during active growth to support healthy foliage and flower production. Avoid poorly drained or waterlogged positions, especially during the wetter Western Cape winter.
Did You Know?
Coral Magic gets its name from its changing flower colours! The blooms don't remain exactly the same shade as they open. The coral-peach colouring develops towards pink, so one plant can display flowers in noticeably different shades at the same time.
