Water
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove spent flower stalks. Light trimming can be done to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged foliage at any time of year to keep the plant tidy.
Propagate by seeds sown in spring or by softwood cuttings taken in late spring/early summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.
Repot established plants every two to three years in spring before new growth begins. Use a free-draining compost mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
