Additional Care Tips

Water consistently to maintain moist soil, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in cooler months but do not let the soil dry out completely.

Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Light pruning can be done to shape the plant.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Seeds can also be sown indoors in early spring, but cuttings often result in faster flowering.

Repot container-grown plants annually or when they become root-bound. Use a pot with good drainage and fresh potting mix to ensure healthy root development.
