Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage in pots and garden beds. Reduce watering during winter months when the plant is less active.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage in pots and garden beds. Reduce watering during winter months when the plant is less active.
Prune back by about one-third after flowering to encourage bushier growth and a more compact shape. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and maintain a tidy appearance.
Prune out any dead or damaged stems as needed.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix. Alternatively, sow seeds in early spring, either indoors or directly outdoors after the last frost.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
