Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering slightly in winter.
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged branches anytime. Deadheading spent flowers can promote reblooming.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Can also be grown from seed, though cuttings are more reliable for maintaining cultivar traits.
Repot container-grown plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot one size larger.
