Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems at any time.
Propagate by seeds sown in spring or by division of established clumps. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring.
Repot established plants infrequently, only when root-bound. This is typically done in early spring before new growth begins.
