Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. In hotter weather, more frequent watering may be necessary.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially during cooler months.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or spent flower stems. Minimal pruning is generally required for this plant.

Pinching back the tips of young plants can promote a more compact form.

Propagate from seed sown in autumn or early spring, either directly in the garden or in pots. Seeds benefit from stratification (a period of cold, moist conditions) but often germinate without it.

Young plants can also be propagated from cuttings taken in spring.

Repot young plants as needed, typically every one to two years, into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix.

Mature plants generally prefer to be slightly root-bound and may not require frequent repotting. Choose a pot with drainage holes.
