Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data

Pruning is generally not required. Pinching back leggy stems can encourage bushier growth and more flowers.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Seeds can also be sown in spring.
Repot container-grown plants annually or when root-bound, preferably in spring. Use fresh, well-draining potting mix.
