Water consistently during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

In hot, dry climates, more frequent watering may be necessary.

Prune after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage a bushier habit. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering throughout the season.

Light pruning can also be done in early spring to remove any dead or damaged stems from winter.

Propagate by seeds sown in early spring or fall. Seeds can be surface sown or lightly covered. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-ripe wood in summer.

Both methods generally require moderate warmth and consistent moisture for successful germination or rooting.

Repot young plants annually or as needed, typically in spring, to refresh the soil and provide more space. Established plants can be left in place for several years.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
