plant tips

  • water

    Keep soil consistently moist, fertile, and well-drained, watering when the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.

  • light

    Thrives in bright light with 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best blooms.

  • mature size

    Approx. 36" W × 72" H

care

Plant in well-draining, fertile, slightly acidic soil and water regularly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Use a balanced fertilizer rather than a high-phosphorus bloom booster, which can cause yellowing and reduced flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy new growth.
