Cultivating Care—For Plants, People, and Paws
Water once a week with a deep soaking and keep soil moist but not dripping wet — never let it dry out completely. Reduce frequency slightly in cooler months.
Loves about 5 to 8 hours of bright, direct sunlight per day, though some afternoon shade is appreciated in the hottest climates.
Grows to about 3 ft. tall with a spread of 3 ft. at maturity.
Best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed to maintain shape between both plants. Use an acidic fertilizer, similar to an azalea or gardenia blend, to boost both foliage color and bloom production. Light trimming between bloom cycles increases both the quantity and frequency of blooms for each color.
