Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Overwatering is more detrimental than occasional dryness for this drought-tolerant species.

Prune after flowering to tidy the plant and prevent self-seeding if desired. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage a neater appearance and potentially a second bloom.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it is generally not necessary for this species. Focus on deadheading and removing any damaged or crossing stems.

Propagate from seeds sown in early spring, either indoors or directly outdoors after the last frost. Stratification may improve germination rates for some species.

Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer, but seed propagation is generally more successful for this plant.

Repot container-grown plants in spring before new growth begins, typically every two to three years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

For in-ground plants, repotting is rarely necessary and should be avoided if possible, as they prefer undisturbed conditions.
