Care Instructions
Planting
Plant in full sun for maximum flowering. Space plants 3–4 feet apart to allow air circulation and growth.
Watering
Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist. Reduce frequency during cooler months but avoid letting soil dry completely.
Pruning
Prune lightly to shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Encourage new blooms by trimming after flowering.
Pest Control
