Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain consistent soil moisture. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the plant. Can be cut back hard to encourage vigorous new growth.
Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in summer. Division of root clumps in spring is also effective.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, using a larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Ensure adequate drainage holes.
