Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry spells and after planting. Aim for consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Check soil moisture by touching the surface; water when the top 2-3 cm feels dry.
Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage reblooming. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. For rejuvenation, prune older, overgrown shrubs back to the ground in late winter.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining soil. Alternatively, propagate from softwood cuttings in late spring or by layering.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.
This ensures adequate space for root development.
