Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Provide consistent moisture, especially during establishment and dry spells. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Prune immediately after flowering to shape the shrub and remove any dead or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning in late summer or fall.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Can also be grown from seed, though it may take longer to establish.
If grown in a pot, repot every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger container with fresh potting mix to refresh the soil and prevent root-bound conditions.
