Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Reduce watering slightly in cooler weather but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain shape or control spread. Remove dead or damaged foliage as needed. Can be mowed or cut back to encourage denser growth. Regular trimming helps prevent it from becoming leggy.
Easily propagated by seed or stem cuttings. Seeds can be sown directly outdoors after the last frost. Cuttings root readily in moist soil or water. Division of established clumps is also effective.
Not typically grown in pots, but if so, repot in spring when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Water thoroughly after repotting and keep in a warm, bright location.
