Water
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to root rot.
Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings for optimal growth.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to root rot.
Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings for optimal growth.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. You can also prune to shape the shrub and encourage bushier growth.
This also removes last year's spent flower stems.
Easily propagated from semi-ripe cuttings taken in mid-summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and keep them moist in a propagator or under a plastic bag. Rooting typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a good quality, well-draining potting compost. Repotting is best done in spring before new growth begins to minimize transplant shock.
