Planting & Care

Select a location receiving full to partial sun and prepare well-drained soil. Space plants 2–3 feet apart to accommodate their spreading growth habit, and water regularly to maintain consistently moist soil, especially during hot periods. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Pruning is optional—simply remove any dead or damaged stems as needed after flowering concludes, since this plant blooms on the previous year's growth.
