Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, especially in containers. Overwatering is a common mistake.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In late autumn or early spring, trim back any dead or damaged foliage.
Light pruning can also be done to shape the plant and maintain its compact form.
Propagate by division in early spring or autumn. Carefully separate clumps of established plants, ensuring each division has roots and shoots.
Alternatively, take cuttings from non-flowering shoots in late spring or early summer and root them in a well-draining medium.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one to allow for continued growth, ensuring adequate drainage holes.
