Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, especially during cooler months. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back faded stems to the base after flowering to prevent seed production and promote plant vigor for the following season.
Easily propagated by division in early spring or autumn. Sow seeds in spring, either directly outdoors or indoors for transplanting. Stem cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer.
Perennial types rarely need repotting unless they become overcrowded, which can be done in early spring. Container-grown plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into fresh potting mix to refresh nutrients.
