Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune back dead or faded flower stems to encourage further blooming. After flowering, cut back the plant by about a third to maintain shape and prevent overcrowding. Remove any dead or damaged foliage.
Easily propagated from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Seeds may benefit from scarification or soaking to improve germination. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer.
Repot young plants annually in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature plants can be divided and repotted every 2-3 years, or as needed when root-bound. Use well-draining potting mix.
