Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently during the growing season, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or leggy stems.
Easily grown from seed sown in spring. Can also be propagated by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds germinate best with warmth and light.
Annuals typically do not require repotting. Perennial types grown in pots should be repotted every 1-2 years in spring into fresh potting mix to refresh nutrients and prevent root-bound conditions.
