Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun for optimal flowering. Allow adequate spacing for mature size and airflow.

Watering:
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water sparingly, as the plant is drought tolerant.

Pruning:
Prune back in early spring before new growth appears to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms.

Pest Control:
Generally pest resistant. Check occasionally for aphids or spider mites and treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.

Soil Tips:
Prefers well-draining soil. Avoid overly wet conditions; amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage.
