Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade; full sun encourages the best flowering.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather; avoid letting it dry out completely.
• Soil: Thrives in moist, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
• Humidity: Tolerates average outdoor humidity; ensure good airflow to reduce mildew risk.
• Temperature: Grows best in temperatures between 15–27°C during the active growing season.
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost in spring to support vigorous growth.
• Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and divide clumps every few years.
• Pruning: Cut back stems after flowering or in late autumn to maintain a tidy appearance.
• Repotting: Typically grown in the ground, but container plants should be repotted when root-bound.
