Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, ensuring good drainage. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems. Can be pruned hard to rejuvenate.
Easily propagated from seed sown in spring, often after scarification or soaking. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.
Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound, using a well-draining potting mix.
