Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter. Adequate moisture is crucial for healthy flowering and overall plant vigor.

Check soil moisture by digging a finger into the top few centimeters.

Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and size, and to encourage future blooms. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches. This vigorous shrub responds well to hard pruning if needed to rejuvenate it.

Best propagated by softwood cuttings taken in early summer, or by grafting onto plum rootstock. Root cuttings are also possible but can be less reliable.

Seed propagation is generally not recommended for true-to-type plants.

Young plants may need repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container. Mature plants in the ground rarely require repotting.

Choose a well-draining potting mix and repot in early spring before new growth begins.
