Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily and prepare well-draining soil, with raised beds being especially beneficial. In hot climates, afternoon shade will help protect the blooms. Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture without allowing the plant to become waterlogged. Apply a balanced, controlled-release fertilizer or liquid feed once annually to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Plant in cool weather to establish strong roots before the growing season begins.
