Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot. Adequate moisture is crucial for abundant flowering.

Prune annually in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage vigorous new growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems.

Light pruning can also be done after flowering to maintain size and promote a bushier habit.

Propagate from seeds sown directly outdoors after the last frost or started indoors 4-6 weeks prior. Cuttings can also be taken from softwood in spring or semi-hardwood in summer.

Ensure good drainage for seeds and cuttings.

Repot young plants annually in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants may only need repotting every 2-3 years. Choose a pot one size larger with good drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
