Water consistently once established, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

During prolonged dry spells, provide supplemental water to maintain soil moisture, especially for young plants.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged stems. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage further blooming and maintain a tidier appearance.

Avoid heavy pruning after mid-summer.

Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds can be sown directly outdoors after the last frost.

Cuttings root readily in moist, well-draining soil or potting mix.

Repot young plants as needed, typically every 1-2 years, when root-bound. Mature plants generally prefer to be slightly pot-bound and do not require frequent repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repot in spring before active growth begins.
