Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely, especially during warmer months.
Reduce watering slightly in winter, but maintain some moisture.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding. Trim back plants after flowering to maintain a tidy appearance and promote bushier growth.
Cut back dead or damaged foliage in late autumn or early spring.
Easily propagated from seed sown directly outdoors in autumn or early spring. It can also be propagated by division of established clumps in spring or autumn.
Softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer can also be successful.
Established plants generally do not require frequent repotting and prefer to be slightly root-bound. If repotting is necessary, typically every 2-3 years, do so in spring or autumn.
Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
