Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in autumn and winter. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage, especially in pots. Drought tolerant once established.

Prune back hard in early spring to encourage vigorous new growth and prolific flowering. Deadhead spent flowers regularly throughout the summer to promote continuous blooming.

Remove any dead or damaged stems at any time. Can be pruned to maintain desired shape and size.

Easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix in a warm environment.

Can also be grown from seed sown in spring, though this may result in less predictable flowering than from cuttings.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably gritty. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
