Water
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter.
Drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering encourages better flowering and growth.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter.
Drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering encourages better flowering and growth.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. To control size and shape, cut back stems to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
Flowers form on new growth.
Propagate by softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer, or semi-hardwood cuttings in mid-summer. Cuttings should be rooted in moist, well-draining soil or a sandy medium, kept in a warm environment with high humidity.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, moving them to a slightly larger container. Mature plants are often best left in their pots or planted directly in the ground as they can become root-bound.
Ensure good drainage.
