Care tips

Plant this plant in a sunny to partially shaded spot in nutrient-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Water more frequently during dry spells and remove spent flowers to encourage longer blooming. In the spring, apply a light dose of fertilizer and prune back old stems to promote healthy, full growth.
