Plant & Care

Plant in partial to full shade with bright filtered light or gentle morning sun. Keep the soil consistently moist but well drained, particularly during hot, dry summer weather. Reduce supplementary watering during the Western Cape winter, taking care not to leave the roots sitting in waterlogged soil. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during active growth, following the product instructions. No deadheading is necessary, as spent flowers drop naturally.
