Planting & Care

Plant in full sun once soil temperatures reach 60°F, choosing a location with well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost and balanced slow-release fertilizer. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season, reducing frequency in cooler months but never allowing soil to completely dry. Apply high-potassium fertilizer monthly during active growth to maximize flower production, then stop fertilizing by late summer to help plants prepare for winter dormancy. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain plant shape.
