Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in pots.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged stems.
Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant.
Propagate by sowing seeds in spring or by taking stem cuttings in late spring or early summer. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix in a warm, humid environment.
Seed-grown plants may require stratification.
Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, typically every 2-3 years.
Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
